Swanwick Lane, Swanwick, Southampton, SO31

This is a house that works. Set along Swanwick Lane, in a position where you can catch views of the River Hamble and the character cottages of the area, this is a home that has been thoughtfully extended and updated to create a much more practical and flexible layout than you might expect from its original 1960s design.

From the outside, it remains in keeping with its era, but inside, it offers something quite different.

The ground floor has been reconfigured to create a strong balance between separate and open-plan living. To the front, there is a spacious sitting room with a feature fireplace and wood effect flooring - a comfortable, defined space to retreat to.

To the rear, the house opens up into a large kitchen, dining and living area, designed for day-to-day family life. With generous proportions, this space allows for multiple uses at once - cooking, dining, relaxing - without feeling compromised. The kitchen area is beautiful, with quartz worktops and island, plenty of storage and built in appliances. The current layout incorporates a dining area and separate seating area, but the space is very flexible. Large doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out.

A separate utility room, downstairs cloakroom and storage areas add to the practicality, helping to keep the main living spaces clear and functional.

Upstairs, there are four genuine double bedrooms, which is something not often found in homes of this type. The principal bedroom is particularly well-sized, with fitted wardrobes and an updated ensuite.

The remaining three bedrooms are all well-proportioned, offering flexibility for family living, working from home or guest space, and are served by a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the rear garden has been designed with ease in mind, combining artificial lawn and paved areas to create a low-maintenance, usable space.

To the back, there is a significant amount of parking, alongside a detached garage, which is increasingly valuable in this location.

This is a home that offers space where it matters, in a setting that continues to be popular with families, particularly given its proximity to Sarisbury Infant & Junior schools and Brookfield Secondary School.

A practical, well-balanced house that has been improved in all the right places to suit modern living.
