We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A superb five-bedroom detached family residence set in a convenient and easily accessible location in the heart of Southampton.
Location Shirley is a suburban residential area located in the west of Southampton.
Known for its beautiful tree-lined streets and proximity to Shirley High Street, it offers a mix of early 20th-century homes and modern housing.
The area is popular with families due to well-regarded local schools, including King Edward VI School, Upper Shirley High School, and the property is also within a convenient five-minute walk of St Mark’s Church of England School.
The location provides easy access to both Royal South Hants Hospital and Southampton General Hospital, making it particularly appealing for healthcare professionals.
Southampton Central railway station is approximately a 10-minute walk away, while Southampton Common can be reached in around 15 minutes on foot.
With nearby parks, shops, and excellent transport links, Shirley remains a well-connected and highly desirable place to live.

Upon entering the property, a welcoming entrance hallway links to all the principal ground floor living spaces, including a comfortable sitting room with a door opening onto the garden and separate dining room.
The kitchen is fitted with a stunning range of sleek, contemporary units, built in appliances, including a television and granite worksurfaces (hob: Neff, built in double oven microwave: Bosch, dishwasher: Bosch, washer dryer: Hoover Candy, cooker hood extractor: Smeg, TV: Foehn & Hirsch).
From the kitchen, a Double French door leads out into the garden. The ground floor layout is completed by a study and a cloakroom.
On the first floor, a landing area links to the main bedroom with complementing en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, both enjoying excellent head height, and another bathroom to serve both rooms.
Outside The property is approached via a well-defined frontage, enclosed by a brick-built boundary wall with inset timber fencing, providing both privacy and security.
A set of wooden gates, mounted between substantial brick pillars, open onto the driveway, allowing for convenient and secure parking for three vehicles.
Mature planting and climbing foliage across the façade further enhance the overall presentation, creating a private and well-screened setting.
The main area of garden benefits from a south-facing orientation, offering an area of level lawn flanked by attractive planted borders and walled boundaries.
Set off the kitchen is a delightful, paved terraced area providing an ideal space for outdoor dining, while a well-maintained summer house, recently professionally re-roofed in 2024 with cedar shingle, provides useful storage and potential for a small home office.
