Hounsdown Avenue, Totton, SO40

Hamwic are delighted to offer for sale this spacious and well-positioned three bedroom detached family home, located within one of Totton’s most popular and well-established residential areas. Offering generous room proportions throughout, this attractive home presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a property with versatile living space, practical outbuildings and scope to modernise over time, all within easy reach of local amenities and highly regarded school catchments.

The property benefits from a brick set driveway providing off road parking, garage and timber workshop space, landscaped rear garden, ground floor cloakroom, conservatory, and a spacious open plan lounge-dining room, making this an ideal home for buyers looking for both practicality and potential in a sought-after Totton location.

Ground Floor
The property is approached via a brick set driveway providing off road parking, with the front boundary enclosed by black metal fencing and a low-level brick wall to the side. Access is available to the garage/workshop area via a roller door, adding immediate practicality.

A front door opens into an enclosed entrance porch, benefitting from windows to both sides and offering useful space for coats and shoes, before a further internal door leads into the main accommodation.

The entrance hall features a side aspect window, laminate flooring, stairs rising to the first floor with under-stairs storage, and access to the ground floor cloakroom. Doors lead through to the main living accommodation and utility room.

The lounge-dining room is a particularly appealing feature of the property, forming one large open-plan reception space ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. A double glazed bay window to the front aspect allows excellent natural light, while a side aspect window further enhances the bright and airy feel. The room is centred around a feature fireplace with surround, with the space naturally flowing towards the rear of the property and opening into the kitchen. This room offers excellent proportions and flexibility for both lounge and dining furniture.

Positioned to the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of base and eye level units and drawers, complemented by ample work surface space. Whilst now somewhat dated cosmetically, the kitchen remains perfectly functional and more than habitable, giving buyers the opportunity to modernise in time to suit their own taste. Features include a vertical oven and grill, integrated gas hob, integrated dishwasher, integrated fridge/freezer, tiled flooring, radiator, and a rear aspect window overlooking the garden. Doors provide access back into the utility room and through to the conservatory.

The utility room is a very practical addition, fitted with further work surfaces and additional base and eye level units, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A side aspect window, radiator and vinyl flooring complete this useful space.

To the rear of the property, the conservatory provides valuable additional living accommodation and enjoys a pleasant outlook across the rear garden. Constructed with a brick base and full glazed elevations to the side and rear, with a polycarbonate roof, this bright and versatile room is ideal as a sitting area, dining space, hobby room or playroom. Finished with parquet wooden flooring, and benefitting from power and lighting, the conservatory also provides double doors to the side and an additional side access door.

First Floor
The first floor landing has a side aspect window, fitted carpet, radiator and doors leading to all three bedrooms and the family shower room.

All three bedrooms are of a good size and benefit from radiators, fitted carpet and textured ceilings.

Bedroom One is positioned to the front and enjoys a bay window, along with the added benefit of a built-in triple wardrobe, creating excellent storage.

Bedroom Two is another comfortable double room with windows to both the side and rear aspects, allowing for plenty of natural light.

Bedroom Three is located to the rear and offers flexibility as a child’s bedroom, guest room or home office.

The family shower room is fitted with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin and low level WC, with tiled walls, heated towel rail, vinyl flooring and an obscure glazed window to the front aspect.

Outside
To the front, the property benefits from a brick set driveway providing off road parking, enclosed in part by black metal fencing and a low-level brick wall, with access to the garage/workshop area via a roller door.

The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature, designed to offer a pleasant and manageable outdoor space. Immediately adjoining the conservatory is a paved patio seating area, ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining, while the remainder of the garden has been landscaped with lawned sections and well-stocked borders featuring a variety of plants, shrubs and flowers. The garden is enclosed by timber fencing, and further benefits from an outside tap and garden shed.

A standout addition is the covered access leading into the timber workshop and garage, positioned along the side of the property and extending from the rear garden through to the front. This area offers excellent storage, workshop or hobby space, and benefits from both power and lighting, making it ideal for those requiring practical external workspace in addition to standard garaging.

Location - Hounsdown Avenue is a well-established and highly regarded residential road within Totton, popular with families and buyers seeking convenient access to a wide range of local amenities. The property is well placed for nearby shops, supermarkets, bus routes and commuter links, including easy access to the M27 and nearby Totton train station.
