17 Firecracker Drive, Locks Heath, Southampton, SO31 6BW

Step into the hallway where you’ll find an understairs storage cupboard housing the fire sprinkler system, recently serviced, and there is a handy cloakroom.

At the front of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with cream gloss units and integrated appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, oven and gas hob.

To the rear, the living room has a feature fireplace and double doors leading out to the garden.

On the first floor, you’ll find a single bedroom (perfect as a study or nursery), the main bathroom, and a generous room that could work as either a double bedroom or a second sitting room depending on your needs.

On the second floor, the main bedroom comes with an en-suite shower room, while a further double bedroom enjoys views over the green to the front. And access to the loft.

The rear garden is a delight — mature, private and lovingly planted with roses and shrubs, creating an oasis for relaxation.

There’s also a garden shed and a gate leading out to the shared carport with an additional parking space. Firecracker Drive is brilliantly located for family life.

It’s around three-quarters of a mile to Locks Heath Shopping Centre and Waitrose, and about one mile to Warsash Village with its pubs, river walks and sailing clubs.

For families with older children, Brookfield Secondary School is just a 10-minute walk, so no excuses for being late! Local bus services and good road links make commuting simple too.

Offered with no onward chain, this flexible home with its beautiful mature garden is ready for its next chapter.

Other information: As with most newer developments, there is an estate charge payable for the upkeep of the green areas, street lighting etc.

For the current year, the charge was £313, payable to First Port. The parking space under the car port is leasehold.
