Priory Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO17

A Unique Riverside Home with Private Mooring & Exceptional Versatility A truly unique and versatile semi-detached home, enviably positioned in the popular St Denys area and enjoying a stunning riverside setting, directly backing onto the River Itchen with the rare benefit of its own personal mooring. This wonderful home offers versatility in abundance and has been thoughtfully enhanced to make the most of its exceptional position and far-reaching water views from the rear elevation. Whether you are seeking a peaceful riverside retreat, a flexible family home, or simply somewhere with a lifestyle few properties can offer, this fantastic residence deserves your attention. The property is ideally situated for access to a wealth of amenities at Bitterne Park Triangle, with excellent local schooling, the open green spaces of Riverside Park and convenient transport links providing easy access to both the M27 motorway network and Southampton city centre. On approach, a side entrance door opens into a small entrance hall. To the left is a particularly versatile reception room which is currently arranged as a bedroom, but could equally be utilised as a comfortable living room, study or additional reception space. The room benefits from a delightful feature square bay window and fitted storage. Adjacent is the dining room, which incorporates useful under-stairs storage and provides a natural flow through to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with wooden cabinetry, work surfaces over, an integrated oven and gas hob, together with space for a washing machine and slimline dishwasher. A door provides direct access to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor is an impressive four-piece bathroom, positioned at the rear of the property and enjoying dual-aspect windows. The suite comprises a separate shower cubicle, enclosed bath, WC and wash basin, complemented by a heated towel rail. The first floor has been reconfigured by the current owner to create a wonderfully flexible arrangement. To the front is the principal bedroom, comfortably accommodating a double bed. To the rear is an exceptional L-shaped reception space, currently being transformed into a superb living and working environment. This impressive room is undoubtedly one of the property’s highlights, with large bi-fold doors framing the elevated views across the River Itchen and allowing the room to make full use of its enviable waterside setting. Currently designed to incorporate both a living area and functional home office, the space could readily be adapted or divided to provide additional bedrooms should the needs of a future purchaser require it. Outside, the property continues to impress. A substantial workshop, measuring in excess of 6 metres by 2.5 metres, provides an outstanding additional space and will appeal particularly to those with a passion for woodworking, hobbies or crafts. It could equally serve as a dedicated workshop, studio or home-based creative space, entirely separate from the main house. Beyond the workshop is a gravelled seating area, followed by a further decked seating terrace at the far end of the garden. From here, you can step directly onto the pontoon and enjoy the property’s private mooring and unrivalled connection with the river. The combination of direct riverside frontage, private mooring, exceptional water views, flexible accommodation and proximity to the city makes this a truly special home. Properties offering this lifestyle, whilst retaining such convenient access to everyday amenities and transport connections, are seldom available. An internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the position, versatility and outstanding lifestyle this fantastic riverside home has to offer.
