COMING SOON - REGISTER YOUR INTEREST NOW

TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION (date to be confirmed) UNLESS SOLD PREVIOUSLY.
GUIDE PRICE: £350,000.
We invite immediate CASH OFFERS (on strict Auction terms) from builders, investors and keen owner-occupiers for this well-situated speculative opportunity with considerable potential: NOW REQUIRING GENERAL MODERNISATION, this THREE BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED CHARACTER HOUSE stands upon a generous "double plot" of some 0.14 acre within which historic planning consent has been granted for an ADDITIONAL DETACHED HOUSE AND GARAGE.
Conveniently, yet quietly, situated off Hill Lane, Rockleigh Road lies parallel to the A35 Winchester Road, a short distance from Southampton Common and within comfortable reach of a wide range of public amenities, including: Southampton General Hospital, Sports Centre, golf course, University, schools and local shops. A late-Victorian family house, No. 15 itself has brick elevations under a modern tiled roof, the facade incorporating single splay bay window, the entrance being to the side. It occupies a large plot, approximately 139ft by 45ft, with rear access to a detached garage having adjacent off-street parking.

PLANNING, ETC: as well as scope for significant extension to the existing house, it is felt that wider scope exists for an additional dwelling to the side. Consent for such development (a detached house with garage) was granted in September 1973, but has, of course, lapsed. The property is offered now "as is", it being for potential bidders to satisfy themselves, through enquiry of Southampton City Council, as to their own ideas and proposals. A rare opportunity with much to offer by way of added value. Full particulars are given as follows:
