The Avenue, Southampton, Hampshire, SO17

Occupying a superb position within this highly regarded designated conservation area, this handsome detached Italianate Victorian villa is a truly impressive period home, dating from 1879 and distinguished by its attractive Beaulieu White brick and elegant double bay frontage. Ideally situated within walking distance of Southampton city centre and its extensive range of shops, restaurants, bars, cultural attractions and other amenities, the property combines an enviable location with substantial accommodation and a wealth of beautifully preserved original features.



The impressive interior is approached via a welcoming reception hall, with an ornate staircase and fine period detailing setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. There are two particularly elegant reception rooms, both enjoying excellent natural light from the front-facing sash bay windows, together with a separate study. To the rear, the re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room provides a practical and sociable heart to the home, opening into a generous conservatory/dining area which is ideally suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. A utility room, ground floor bathroom and separate cloakroom add further convenience, while the cellar provides useful additional storage.

The first floor continues to impress, providing five well-proportioned double bedrooms, complemented by a contemporary family bathroom and separate shower room. Throughout the property, a wealth of original character remains, including Carrera marble fireplaces, ornate coving, picture rails, deep skirting boards and sash windows, creating a wonderful sense of history and elegance.

Outside, the property is equally appealing, with an attractive courtyard-style front garden, established planting and gated pedestrian access leading around to the rear. The private rear garden combines patio and lawn with raised brick planters, mature trees and a pergola, creating a lovely setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Further benefits include a substantial double garage, bicycle store and additional garden storage.
