Bladon Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO16

A beautifully presented bay and forecourt Victorian terraced home, ideally positioned on a highly sought-after road in Shirley, just a short walk from Southampton General Hospital and within easy reach of a wide range of local amenities and the wide open spaces found at the Sports Centre and Southampton Common.

This charming property effortlessly blends timeless period character with stylish modern living, having been thoughtfully renovated to a high standard by the current owner. From the moment you step inside, the welcoming hallway sets the tone, with stairs rising to the first floor and a sense of warmth that continues throughout.

The living accommodation is both elegant and sociable, arranged as two distinct reception areas connected by an attractive archway. The cosy sitting room is bathed in natural light from a classic bay window and features a striking Victorian fireplace, complemented by beautifully stripped and polished flooring throughout. The adjoining dining area provides an inviting space for entertaining, comfortably accommodating a dining table and chairs, perfect for gatherings with family and friends.

From the dining room, French doors open into a practical utility area, with the added benefit of useful understairs storage. An inner corridor leads to a superbly appointed bathroom, showcasing a freestanding clawfoot roll-top bath with Victorian-style mixer taps and shower attachment, alongside a pedestal wash basin and traditional gravity feed cistern toilet, all echoing the home’s heritage.

To the rear, the property boasts a stunning, contemporary kitchen designed to impress, fitted with sleek grey shaker-style cabinetry, solid oak work surfaces, and a range of integrated appliances. Laundry facilities are neatly housed within the adjoining utility space.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering a comfortable retreat with ample space for furnishings while retaining the home’s period charm, and bedroom one boasts fitted cupboards. A convenient cloakroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to delight. The front forecourt is attractively finished with shingle and a chequered pathway leading to the entrance, framed by a neatly maintained hedge for added privacy. The rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped with a paved patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, a central lawn, and beautifully stocked mature borders. A storage shed is tucked away at the far end, completing this wonderful outdoor space.
