Development Opportunity, Chatsworth Road, Bitterne, SO19

Welcome To Chatsworth Road! A fantastic development opportunity consisting of a detached three bedroom home, a building plot with planning for an additional three bedroom detached and an outbuilding which could be converted to an annex with the correct planning permissions. This is a rare opportunity for such a prestigious road and Marco Harris are open to all enquiries. 

Chatsworth Road is one of Bitterne’s most established and in-demand addresses. It offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful suburban feel with generous plots and family-friendly surroundings, yet it remains only minutes from Bitterne Precinct and within easy reach of Southampton city centre. The area attracts long-term residents, with properties rarely coming to market- when they do, they typically achieve strong prices due to the road’s reputation and the quality of homes on offer.

For developers, this presents a highly attractive proposition: a site in a road with proven demand, strong resale values, and limited supply. With the right finish, both homes would appeal to the family market that consistently underpins Bitterne, ensuring confidence in end values and saleability.

Dwelling One

This has been a long term rental home and is now going through a refurbishment project by the current owners. The property is being replastered in places, it has been subject to a part re-wire and will be decorated to a condition that lends itself to the rental market. The ground floor offers an open plan lounge with dining area, there is a feature bay window to the front aspect. This opens up to an extended kitchen/ breakfast room. There is ample space in this room and offers fitted kitchen units with peninsula, dual aspect windows and access to the rear. The first floor offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom. This is your traditional, suburban, three bed detached house. In recent months, similar, refurbished examples of extended homes in the Brownlow estate behind have been listing and selling at £425,000. 

Outbuilding To Rear

This outbuilding totals in excess of 100 Sq Meters and could be turned into an annex or additional accommodation but this is subject to planning. The size of this building rivals that of similar bungalows in Sholing and surrounding areas and offers five rooms, these could easily convert to a lounge/ diner, two bedrooms, kitchen and shower room. Whilst there is no attributable value to this building as it stands, it would cost circa £150,000 to build out to the current condition. This additional space is a fantastic opportunity for the next owner. 

Building Plot

Planning Number 14/01335/DIS

This is to take the place of the existing double garage, planning has been granted for a three bedroom detached house. The plans outline a home with three bedrooms, upstairs family bathroom and en- suite to master. Downstairs has been approved for two reception rooms, separate kitchen and downstairs W/C. There is a right to light payment due to the neighbouring property of £35,000 this is a provisional sum, prospective purchasers may wish to reconfigure the planning or extend the house which would negate the Right of Light issue dependent on design.
