Welcome to Swift Road! A charming and characterful three-bedroom family home, dating back to the early 1900s and offering an abundance of space, period features and natural light throughout.

Flooded with natural light from the large bay window to the front aspect, the impressive lounge/diner showcases the property's character beautifully and benefits from two striking cast iron fireplaces, enhancing the home's timeless appeal and creating wonderful focal points within the space. There is also a well-maintained, dual-aspect kitchen which enjoys plenty of natural light and provides direct access out onto the rear garden. Outside, the low-maintenance rear garden provides a pleasant outdoor retreat with space for seating and entertaining, together with the practical benefits of a garden shed and outside tap. Presented in good condition throughout, this delightful period home combines generous proportions, attractive original features and excellent living space, making it an ideal purchase for families, first-time buyers and those seeking a character property in a popular location.
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).
