Dibles Road, Warsash, Southampton, SO31

This isn’t the kind of house you necessarily go out looking for, but it’s often the one people end up falling in love with once they’ve seen it.

Tucked away along a quiet gravel track shared by just 9 homes, the setting immediately feels different. There’s a sense of privacy and calm, with Warsash Common just a minute’s walk away, and within easy reach of Warsash village, the shore and well-regarded local schools, including Brookfield Secondary School.

From the outside, it has all the character of a traditional cottage. Inside, it tells a different story.

The house has been thoughtfully extended and updated throughout, creating a balance between character and modern living that’s hard to achieve well. The entrance hallway sets the tone, with high ceilings and a galleried landing adding a real sense of space as you walk in.

The main living space is a generous triple-aspect sitting room, filled with natural light and centred around a woodburning stove. Wooden flooring runs underfoot, and the proportions allow it to feel both spacious and comfortable day to day.

The kitchen-dining space has been completely reworked into a highly functional, modern area, with Corian worktops, island & breakfast bar, extensive storage and built in appliance. Bifold doors open onto a terrace area to the front of the house, currently set up with a hot tub, creating an unexpected but very usable extension of the living space.

There is also a good-sized study on the ground floor, which could equally work as a fourth bedroom or hobby space, along with a separate utility room, boot room and cloakroom, all adding to the practicality of the house.

Upstairs, the landing continues that sense of character, with a front-facing window bringing in natural light. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with walk-in-wardrobe and a recently updated ensuite. Bedrooms two and three are both generous doubles, served by a main bathroom that has also been updated in recent years.

One of the more individual aspects of the house is how the outside space is arranged. To the front, there is a large parking area with space for 5-6 cars, along with a generous, well-established south-facing front and side gardens and a substantial workshop. The rear garden is smaller, with decking and a pergola, which won’t suit everyone, but for the right buyer, the overall setting and layout will feel like a worthwhile trade-off.

This is a home that offers something slightly different, not just in how it looks, but in how it feels to live in.
