Sirdar Road, Southampton, SO17

A three bedroom semi-detached family home set in a popular location, close to the amenities of Southampton.

THE SITUATION

Sirdar Road is a well-regarded residential location conveniently positioned for access to the University of Southampton’s Highfield Campus, making it particularly popular with families, professionals and investors alike. The nearby district of Portswood offers a wide range of everyday amenities including Waitrose and Sainsbury’s supermarkets, together with an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.

Southampton City Centre is also easily accessible and provides more extensive shopping and leisure facilities, including the popular Westquay Shopping Centre, cinema complex and mainline railway station. Regular bus services operate close by, offering convenient connections to the city centre, the university and surrounding areas.

THE PROPERTY 

This semi-detached three-bedroom house is situated in the well-established Portswood area of the city, close to Highfield, and offers an opportunity for buyers looking to update and improve a property to their own specification. The house provides well-proportioned accommodation throughout and has potential to modernise and reconfigure, subject to the necessary consents.

On the ground floor, the front-facing lounge is a good size and features a bay window and a firebox fitted to an open fire with a black granite hearth, creating a comfortable main reception space. To the rear, the separate dining room overlooks the garden and connects through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of storage units. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms together with a well-proportioned single bedroom, making the property suitable for families, first-time buyers or investment purchasers. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a whirlpool bath. While the property would benefit from general updating and cosmetic improvement, it offers scope to create a spacious home in a popular residential location. The property also offers potential for enlargement (subject to the relevant consents being granted).

OUTSIDE 

To the front of the property there is a small garden area enclosed by a fence panel border to the front, providing an attractive approach to the house.

The rear garden has been intentionally left in a more natural style to encourage local wildlife and now provides a mature outdoor space with a variety of established specimen plants, shrubs and trees. While somewhat overgrown in parts, the garden offers considerable potential for landscaping and further cultivation, with an abundance of greenery creating a private and leafy backdrop. A range of mature planting adds character and seasonal interest, making it an appealing space for keen gardeners or those looking to create a more structured outdoor environment over time.

To the rear of the garden, a small brook gently runs across the boundary, adding to the peaceful setting.
