Welcome to Swift Road! A charming and spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home set within a characterful Victorian building, dating back to around 1900. Designed with generous proportions and an emphasis on natural light, this traditional property blends period charm with exciting potential. The standout feature of the home is the impressive 14'6 lounge, complete with soaring high ceilings and a striking box bay window that fills the room with light. A formal dining room flows into the fitted kitchen, which offers a great opportunity for modernisation to suit your style. To the rear, you'll find a versatile utility room with a cloakroom and French doors opening out to the garden – ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Upstairs, there are three spacious double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a built-in wardrobe. A wide landing area leads to a generously sized family bathroom, offering comfort and space for family living.
Outside, the rear garden is substantial and brimming with potential, perfect for landscaping or future extensions (subject to planning). A shared driveway to the side provides access to off-road parking, while the front is attractively framed by a low brick wall and mature shrubs, enhancing the home’s kerb appeal. With its classic features, generous layout and excellent scope for improvement, this home is a rare find – offering both character and the opportunity to create a truly special family residence.
Location The general character of Swift Road and Woolston is suburban with traces of the former rural settlement that gave it its special character in the past. Developed from a small rural settlement into substantial residential suburb, Woolston now benefits from an outstanding selection of local shops, amenities and cafés including a large Lidl Supermarket (0.4 miles), Superdrug and Boots (0.5 miles). Exceptional schools are nearby including the St. Patricks Catholic School (0.7 miles) and the Woolston Infant School (0.6 miles). Other local points include: plenty of natural attractions including the Weston Shore (0.2 miles), Peatree Green Nature Reserve (1.0 miles) and Archery Grounds (0.2 miles), local pubs including the Obelisk (0.5 miles), Woolston Train Station (0.7 miles) and although you can spend most days relaxing by the river and basking in the tranquil setting, the fast-paced city of Southampton is just a stone’s throw away. A short journey across the Itchen Bridge (0.7 miles) will take you to Southampton City Centre (1.0 miles) where you can enjoy a hearty meal in a traditional English pub or treat yourself to some fine dining in a Michelin star restaurant in Ocean Village, Southampton City Centre, the new Cultural Quarter and Oxford Street (1.6 miles).
