Witts Hill, Southampton, Hampshire, SO18

NO FORWARD CHAIN!

Welcome to Witts Hill, a highly desirable spot, located in the heart of Midanbury, right on the cusp of the ever-popular Bitterne Park. This location truly offers the best of both worlds, a peaceful residential setting with everything you could possibly need within easy reach. Families will love being within walking distance of local schools, including the sought-after secondary in Bittern Park, known for its performing arts specialism. For downtime, Riverside Park is just moments away, providing a stunning backdrop for riverside walks, cycling, or simply relaxing by the water. Bitterne Triangle is also nearby, offering a vibrant mix of local delights — from the legendary Soca Shack, serving some of Southampton’s finest Caribbean dishes, to Melt in the Garden, a wood-fired pizza favourite with flavours that rival the best in the city (the carbonara pizza is a must-try). You’ll also find friendly micro pubs, great takeaways, and the soon-to-open Compton’s Cocktail Bar, which promises to be the new local hotspot. With Southampton City Centre just a short drive away and easy access to the M27, this location perfectly balances community charm with convenience.

Set 50m's above sea level, this charming home offers far-reaching views. The property has a prospective easement to the front, allowing for off-road parking, and is presented in great condition throughout. Step through a welcoming porch ideal for shoes and coats after a riverside stroll before entering the main hallway where you’ll find the majority of living space. The lounge is a standout feature, boasting panoramic 180° views that make it perfect for watching fireworks or sunsets through the window. A traditional chimney breast with a log-burning stove takes centre stage, adding warmth and charm through the winter months. The kitchen blends retro style with practicality, retaining original 1950s Formica units complemented by new epoxy resin floors and fitted appliances including an oven, hob, washing machine, and dishwasher.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the main currently featuring a pull-down bed to double up as a second reception space when not in use. A plastered and floored loft room, accessed via the second bedroom, provides excellent additional space — ideal as a hobby area or storage, though not habitable under current building regulations. Throughout the home, you’ll find lovely touches such as original 1950s internal doors, brand-new carpets (excluding the loft), and thoughtful updates that preserve its character while enhancing everyday comfort.

The outdoor area continues to impress, featuring a private garden split into distinct sections perfect for finding sunshine or shade throughout the day. Hidden among the greenery is what we've named “The Tiny Home” — a beautifully crafted log-style cabin complete with a mezzanine sleeping area, a separate room with provisions for further wash facilities, and handmade carpentry details. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil home office, creative studio, or cosy guest retreat, this unique space offers endless potential.

A private coal access alley, owned by the property, provides additional convenience when accessing the rear garden. Other practical benefits include an outside tap, no water meter (making bills cheaper), and a commercial-grade floor in the conservatory perfect for a future larder space or utility area.

The home’s position means you’ll enjoy incredible elevated views, a true sense of privacy, and access to an array of green spaces — Deep Dean Woods, Frogs Copse Nature Reserve, Riverside Park, and more — all within a short walk. Local shops, a great pub, doctors’ surgery, allotments, bus routes, and even a train station are nearby. With by-laws permitting small homesteading (yes, chickens or pigs could be part of your future), this is a property that offers charm, community, and lifestyle in equal measure.

And best of all — it’s offered with no forward chain.
