Burridge Road, Burridge, Southampton
£725,000

Having been in the same family since September 1971 and purchased from the original builder who had developed this substantial chalet style property for their own use only a few years before, the marketing of this property provides a rare chance to buy a potential forever family home in a seldomly available location. If you were to look up and down the road so many residents have lived in this amazing location for multiple generations; such is the lifestyle and enjoyment of the area. Already boasting a plot extending to three-quarters of an acre, the owners along with another twelve residents of Burridge Road share the ownership of a large area of natural woodland beside the River Hamble, which is accessible a few minutes-walk away at the end of this semi-rural cul-de-sac. From an initial glance as you draw up outside you can see this striking chalet-style detached house is of impressive proportions, this is further confirmed as you step inside. The chalet design often offers better versatility than your standard house, with the ability to offer potential bedrooms on ground & first floor, this example does not disappoint. As its currently laid out there are three large double bedrooms on the first floor, along with a shower room and separate WC. On the ground floor there are three large receptions, one lending itself to be a fourth double bedroom, a long kitchen/dining room, rear porch, utility and cloakroom complete the accommodation. Although it would be true to say the internal finishes are dated, they are full of charm, and the property is perfectly and comfortably habitable while you make your own changes and choices. Enjoying the last plot on the adopted part of this popular road, it has grounds extending to nearly 0.7 of an acre. There are a generous frontage and driveway, vehicular access along one side to a detached garage set at the top of the extensive gardens. Tamed and under control the rear garden is mainly lawned, interspersed with mature shrubs and some trees. Offering total privacy at all stages with mature boundary hedging and fencing, it would be a delightful space for any keen gardener, or a wonderful adventure playground for any younger residents. Burridge Road is a fantastic setting with its wide road width, making the houses & bungalows opposite seem so far away, all the properties are entirely individual. There would be great potential to extend subject to planning permission, although so many in the road have already set the precedent. Although enjoying this almost rural, country & peaceful feel Burridge Road is excellently connected, Swanwick railway station is only 5 mins drive away, the M27 Motorway is accessible at Junction 8 & 9. Whiteley shopping centre is a short drive away, which offers an amazing collection of High Street brand name shops, along with supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and eateries. Great catchment schools for all age groups are available including Brookfield Community School. Appointments to view are recommended, to understand the opportunity available, with the marketing of this unique home.
