Hillside Avenue, Southampton, SO18 1LD

Hillside Avenue By Marco Harris

An exceptional semi-detached Victorian home, beautifully blending period character with contemporary living, this immaculate property has been thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained throughout. Offering an abundance of stylish accommodation, stunning entertaining spaces and a superb garden with outdoor kitchen, this is a truly outstanding family home in one of Bitton's most desirable locations.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting entrance hall. To the front of the property is an elegant living room featuring a beautiful bay window and charming fireplace, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. A convenient downstairs cloakroom sits off the hallway, whilst a cosy snug provides an additional reception space, ideal as a family room, home office or children's playroom.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room. Flooded with natural light from skylights above and impressive bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, this remarkable space has been designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The contemporary kitchen is finished to an exceptional standard and features a central island with inset sink and mixer tap, double ovens, a wine fridge and an excellent range of storage and worktop space.

To the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a beautifully presented room benefitting from a bay window, feature fireplace, bespoke panelling and built-in wardrobes. A further spacious double bedroom also enjoys a characterful fireplace, whilst the third bedroom overlooks the rear garden. Serving the bedrooms is a luxurious four-piece family bathroom, exquisitely designed with twin his-and-hers wash basins, a freestanding bath, separate shower and high-quality fittings throughout.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The landscaped rear garden has been created as the ultimate entertaining space, complete with a fully fitted outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, perfect for hosting family and friends throughout the year. Beyond this is a versatile outbuilding, currently utilised as a stylish man cave/snug, whilst also offering useful storage space.

Location

Situated in the highly sought-after Bitterne Park area, Hillside Avenue is a popular residential road known for its attractive homes, family-friendly atmosphere, and excellent convenience. Residents benefit from easy access to Bitterne Park's local shops, cafés, and amenities, while Southampton City Centre is just a short journey away. The area is particularly popular with families due to its well-regarded schools and abundance of nearby green spaces, including Riverside Park and the River Itchen. Excellent transport links, including Bitterne train station and motorway access, make Hillside Avenue an ideal location for commuters and those looking to enjoy the perfect balance of city convenience and suburban living.

Agents Comments 

Firstly, the bathroom is simply exceptional. Finished to an incredibly high standard, it feels more like something you'd find in a boutique hotel or luxury spa than a typical family home. It's a space that immediately leaves an impression. Secondly, the way the kitchen extension has been designed and integrated into the property works beautifully. It creates a fantastic heart of the home, offering an abundance of space for both everyday family life and entertaining, whilst allowing natural light to flood in. Finally, the outdoor barbecue and entertaining area is something truly special. It's the kind of space that people dream of having – whether they'll admit it or not. Perfect for summer gatherings, family celebrations, or simply relaxing with friends, it adds another dimension to the lifestyle this property offers.

Combined with its sought-after Bitterne Park location, this is a home that has been thoughtfully improved and enjoyed by its current owners, and I have no doubt it will be equally appreciated by its next custodians.
