Beautiful Four-Storey Georgian Townhouse in Central Southampton – No Chain

Situated just off Oxford Street in the heart of Southampton’s historic Old Town, this beautifully presented four-storey, four double-bedroom Georgian townhouse offers the rare combination of period elegance, modern convenience, and exceptional location. Set within the sought-after Oxford Street Conservation Area, this Grade II listed Regency-style home is offered with no onward chain, a 999-year lease, peppercorn ground rent, and no service charges or landlord covenants—an extremely rare and valuable offering in today’s market.

The house has been recently redecorated and tastefully modernised while preserving its historic character, with high ceilings, sash windows, and stripped wooden floors that create an elegant and welcoming first impression. Entry is via the ground floor, where you'll find one of the four spacious double bedrooms, alongside staircases leading both to the basement and upwards to the main living areas. This level also provides access to a private, enclosed south-west facing garden — a true suntrap designed for easy living. With a mix of artificial lawn, block paving and stones, it offers a clean, low-maintenance space ready to enjoy from day one. Whether you're hosting friends for al fresco dining, soaking up the afternoon sun with a drink in hand, or simply unwinding after work, this garden delivers year-round appeal. There’s also a handy up-and-over storage shed for bikes, tools, or garden furniture.

On the basement level, a flexible space serves as a fourth bedroom, office, or playroom and includes a modern en-suite shower room with a double shower, WC, and hand basin, along with a compact utility area—ideal for guests, working from home, or multi-generational living. The heart of the home lies on the first floor, where the bright open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space spans the entire level. The stunning bay window floods the room with natural light, complementing the stylish wood-effect flooring and vertical flat-panel radiators. The kitchen is fitted with sleek contemporary wall and floor units, a stainless steel sink and drainer, built-in oven with electric hob and extractor hood over, and a modern breakfast bar—perfect for cooking, socialising, or entertaining. Also on this level is a second, modern bathroom, equipped with a double shower, WC, and hand basin.

The top floor houses two further well-proportioned double bedrooms. One benefits from its own private en-suite shower room with a single shower, WC, and hand basin. There is also access to loft storage for added practicality. The entire property has been thoughtfully designed to suit a range of living arrangements, from professional couples and growing families to those seeking flexible space for remote work or intergenerational living.

Parking is convenient, with a council-run car park located just a two-minute walk away, offering resident permits that are valid citywide.

Living here feels like stepping into a piece of Southampton’s story — the property sits in the heart of the Old Town’s historic conservation area, surrounded by ancient walls and architecture that gives the neighbourhood a charming feel. Just minutes away, you’ll find Oxford Street’s restaurants and nightlife, the buzz of Ocean Village marina, peaceful Queens Park, Solent University, and the shopping and entertainment of West Quay — all within easy walking distance. The area is also part of the city’s ongoing Renaissance regeneration, bringing fresh energy, new investment, and long-term value to this unique corner of Southampton.

Early viewing is strongly recommended—properties of this quality, with such an ideal blend of heritage, location, and flexibility, are rarely available for long.
