Wilton Crescent, Upper Shirley, Southampton, Hampshire, SO15

Situated in one of Upper Shirley’s most desirable locations, this fantastic detached family home offers an impressive blend of characterful features, thoughtful extensions, and versatile living space, all set on one of the large plots found in the area with a beautifully landscaped rear garden that truly feels like a private haven.

From the moment you step inside, the charm and quality of the home are immediately evident. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with stairs rising to the first floor and a convenient cloakroom/WC tucked away. Two well-proportioned reception rooms are accessed from the hallway: a spacious yet cosy sitting room to the front featuring beautifully stripped wood flooring, a large bay window that floods the room with natural light, and a host of retained period details; and a separate dining room with equally appealing character, ideal for family gatherings or formal entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall cabinets, contrasting work surfaces, and provision for appliances, offering a practical and functional space at the heart of the home. To the rear, a brick-built extension features a conservatory-style roof, allowing natural light to pour into both this and the adjoining dining room. Overlooking and opening onto the garden, this space serves as a delightful family room, garden room, or informal lounge, perfect for enjoying the outdoors from the comfort of inside.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three well-sized double bedrooms, each offering ample space for furnishings and personalisation. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower, WC, and wash basin.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The front garden has been landscaped with a retaining wall and attractive planting, while a private driveway provides convenient off-road parking. Side gates open to the rear, the garden is a standout feature, expertly landscaped and maintained to create a tranquil and inviting outdoor retreat, ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding. Set back a little from the house is a brick and pitched roof former garage, this double skinned building is perfect to be converted into more habitable accommodation as an annexe or home office, and with clearer extension it could be utilised as part of the main house.

A rare opportunity to acquire a home of such space, charm, and garden size in this highly sought-after area, close to amenities, popular schooling and Southampton General Hospital.
