LOCATION

Shirley is a suburban residential area located in the west of Southampton. Known for its beautiful tree-lined streets and proximity to Shirley High Street, it offers a mix of early 20th-century homes and modern housing. The area is popular with families due to well-regarded local schools, including King Edward VI School, Upper Shirley High School, and the property is also within a convenient five-minute walk of St Mark’s Church of England School.

The location provides easy access to both Royal South Hants Hospital and Southampton General Hospital, making it particularly appealing for healthcare professionals. Southampton Central railway station is approximately a 10-minute walk away, while Southampton Common can be reached in around 15 minutes on foot. With nearby parks, shops, and excellent transport links, Shirley remains a well-connected and highly desirable place to live.

OUTSIDE 

The property is approached via a well-defined frontage, enclosed by a brick-built boundary wall with inset timber fencing, providing both privacy and security. A set of wooden gates, mounted between substantial brick pillars, open onto the driveway, allowing for convenient and secure parking for three vehicles. Mature planting and climbing foliage across the façade further enhance the overall presentation, creating a private and well-screened setting.

The main area of garden benefits from a south-facing orientation, offering an area of level lawn flanked by attractive planted borders and walled boundaries. Set off the kitchen is a delightful, paved terraced area providing an ideal space for outdoor dining, while a well-maintained summer house, recently professionally re-roofed in 2024 with cedar shingle, provides useful storage and potential for a small home office.

Upon entering the property, a welcoming entrance hallway links to all the principal ground floor living spaces, including a comfortable sitting room with a door opening onto the garden and separate dining room.

From the kitchen, a Double French door leads out into the garden.

The ground floor layout is completed by a study and a cloakroom.

On the first floor, a landing area links to the main bedroom with complementing en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom, which features an oversize bath.

The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, both enjoying excellent head height, and another bathroom to serve both rooms.

Living in Totton

Totton sits right on the edge of the New Forest, offering the perfect balance between town convenience and countryside charm. With the River Test on one side and acres of open forest on the other, it’s a popular choice for families, commuters and those looking to enjoy outdoor living while staying well connected. Southampton city centre is just a short drive or train ride away, and easy access to the M27 makes Totton ideal for travel across Hampshire and beyond.

There are several well-regarded schools, sports facilities, and leisure centres, plus green spaces such as Testwood Lakes Nature Reserve – a haven for walkers, birdwatchers and cyclists.

Culturally, Totton is home to the Eling Tide Mill Experience, one of the only working tide mills in the world, where visitors can see traditional milling in action and learn about the area’s industrial heritage. Nearby, Eling Quay and Goatee Beach offer lovely spots to walk and watch the tide come in along Southampton Water.
