About
Enviably located on the much-coveted south side of Shirley, this classic 1930's semi offers a great opportunity to acquire a well-presented family home.
The extended ground floor layout provides a seamless flow between living spaces, allowing for effortless entertaining and everyday living.
The spacious accommodation includes a dining room at the front, a lounge at the rear overlooking the garden, a pleasant conservatory and a 16’ kitchen breakfast room.
A handy ground-floor cloakroom completes the downstairs layout. Moving upstairs, the three good-sized bedrooms offer comfort and tranquillity and can be found alongside the bathroom facilities.
Enhancing the allure of this charming home, the delightful rear garden provides a serene oasis for outdoor relaxation, complete with several secluded seating areas, and enjoys a southerly aspect.
In addition, the convenience of a garage/storage space and off-street parking adds to the functionality of this desirable property.
With its potential for further enhancements, subject to local authority consents, this home presents a unique opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking a blend of classic elegance and modern comfort.
Bright and welcoming, this house needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
The Location The property is located on Devonshire Way, a popular residential side street on the ever-popular and highly regarded south side of Shirley.
Within a few hundred yards, you will find the Wickham Road offering a range of local shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, and shops.
Also, the delightful Millers Pond recreational area is within around 0.65 of a mile, and the Shirley Church recreation ground is closer still.
Further Extension Potential Whilst the property has already had a rear extension, there is scope to convert the garage into internal accommodation, which could also provide a 'granny annex' style set up if required.
Similar homes in the immediate area have had double-storey extensions to the side. Obviously, any improvements of this nature will require the relevant local authority consents.
Schools The property is in easy reach of primary and secondary schools.
These include Orchard Way Primary, Orchard Park Secondary, The Harris Academy at Benson, St Johns and Trinity, with Royal Russell, Coloma, and Whitgift also within easy reach.
