Primrose Road, Southampton, SO16

Number 21 Primrose Road has been extended at the back, opening up what was once a narrow galley kitchen into a brighter, more open space that flows into a dining area of its own. Being dual aspect, it stays light through the day, and with the units ready for updating, a new owner can shape the whole room to their own taste. Sliding doors from the dining area lead straight out to the garden, handy for a morning coffee or a spot of lunch when the weather's good.

The living room stretches over 22 feet across the front of the house. It began life as two rooms, and the two chimney breasts still mark where each one stood, one now fitted with shelving and the other with a working fireplace for winter evenings. There's room here for a family to spread out, with space for the sofas at one end and something quieter, a reading corner or a desk, at the other.

The first floor has two double bedrooms and a generous third single bedroom, with the second double and the third bedroom both looking over the garden. The main bedroom has a built-in shelved recess beside the wardrobe space, a welcome bit of extra storage. The three bedrooms share a family bathroom, and there's a separate WC on the ground floor to take the pressure off busy mornings.

The garden faces west, so the patio off the dining area keeps the sun late into the evening. Low chain-link fencing along each boundary lets the whole plot feel open and generous rather than closed in, and a variety of trees run down its length, with the more mature ones towards the far end. At the front there's off-road parking for one car, with further permit parking available on the road for a small annual fee of around £30 per permit. A pedestrian gate at the side of the house leads through to the garden.

Solar panels on the rear elevation, paired with a 10kWh battery, store energy through the day, reducing your monthly bills.

Southampton University's campus is just a few minutes on foot, and for anyone who commutes, the M27 and M3 are easily reached, with Southampton Airport and Southampton Parkway mainline station both close by. Families are well placed for schools too: Cantell School sits at the end of the road with an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, and Bassett Green Primary is nearby for younger children.
