Wilton Road, Upper Shirley, Southampton, Hampshire SO15

Charters are honoured to bring to the market, with the added benefit of no onward chain, what is arguably Upper Shirley's finest home.

Dating back to the 1870s, this charming, spacious, and characterful double-fronted residence offers stylish and flexible living and sleeping accommodation, while benefiting from a generously sized plot that is rarely found so close to the city centre. Numerous outbuildings provide further versatility, making this an exceptional family home.

The property is ideally situated, offering convenient access to a range of excellent educational facilities, the city centre, the central railway station, Southampton General Hospital, the University, and the vast open spaces of The Common, making it perfectly suited to family living.

Boasting over 2,800 square feet of beautifully presented accommodation, the ground floor features four generously proportioned reception rooms, all accessed from the welcoming entrance hallway, which also provides access to the full-height cellar. These versatile spaces offer ample room for entertaining, family life, and working from home.

To the rear of the property is a sleek and stylish kitchen overlooking the garden, complemented by a practical utility room, a family shower room, and an additional WC.

The first-floor landing provides access to the loft space and leads to four generously sized double bedrooms. There is also a useful study to the front of the property and a versatile additional room to the rear, previously used as a cinema room, which could comfortably serve as a home office, playroom, or fifth bedroom if required. These rooms are all served by a stylish four-piece family bathroom.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking for several vehicles via a private driveway leading to a detached double garage, complete with a home gym and separate garden store.

The generous rear garden provides the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends and making the most of the sunshine. Extensive patio areas offer an ideal space for al fresco dining, while the heated swimming pool, complete with a surrounding decked area, creates the perfect place to relax throughout the summer. Completing this outstanding outdoor space is a superb pool house with a bar, together with a further garden store and a dedicated pool plant room.
