1 Swift Cottages Heathen Street, Southampton, SO32 2BT

This superbly presented and extended two-bedroom semi-detached home in the village of Durley centres around a wonderful open-plan living and dining space, connected by bi-fold doors and made for entertaining friends and family.

The rooms flow into one another, whilst being able to create two separate spaces when needed.

The fitted kitchen is finished with black granite worktops, an integrated double oven, a wine cooler and an instant boiling water tap, making it a practical space for everyday cooking as well as hosting.

Beyond the kitchen, a versatile ground floor room is currently used as a snug, offering a quiet spot to relax away from the main living space.

A ground floor cloakroom with WC adds further everyday convenience.

French doors from the lounge open onto a covered patio, complete with a oak-framed gazebo topped with a glass roof and electric heater, extending the living space outdoors in the milder weather.

Beyond this, the south east facing rear garden has been laid mainly to artificial lawn for easy upkeep, with a timber shed and pea shingle borders adding useful storage and planting space.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a spacious room with high ceilings that give it a light and airy feel, finished with a feature wallpaper wall.

The second bedroom is a good sized double, currently used as a guest room. The family bathroom has a shower over bath with a screen, an illuminated mirror cabinet and storage beneath the sink.

To the front, the driveway provides off-street parking for up to three vehicles, with additional space available on the street for visitors.

Durley is a semi-rural village with real village character, well suited to buyers looking for a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle.

The Farmers Home, a quiet country pub, sits opposite the property on Heathen Street, while Durley CE Primary School serves the local community.
