Property description

Character house with courtyard garden and garage set in the historical district of central Southampton close to the waterside. Properties here do not often become available so early contact is advised.

Take full advantage of living right in the city centre in this well presented three bedroom mews house set in the very heart of historical Southampton. The resident will benefit from living virtually on the door step of the city centre high street and West Quay shopping centre but will only need to head in the opposite direction for Town Quay and Ocean Village, again within walking distance. The house itself nestles close to the Old Walls of the city and is bordered by cobbled streets and city landmarks. The property is offered unfurnished and comprises as follows. On the ground floor is an entrance hallway with a cupboard and two of the bedrooms which are doubles. Both rooms include built in wardrobes and bedroom one has a door to the garden. Additionally on the ground floor is a shower room which includes a WC and a further cupboard. The lounge/diner is located on the first floor and features views of the old walls and water. Here also is the kitchen where there are a range of wall and base units on laminate flooring complete with a double electric cooker, gas hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. Bedroom three is also on this floor with useful shelving and the family bathroom is fitted with a white suite to include a shower over the bath. Additional storage is to be found in a further two cupboards on the landing. A huge bonus for a property in this location is the courtyard garden and garage. Please note there are no parking permits available.

Location wise, the major areas of the city such as shops, eating places, parks, waterside areas and Southampton railway station are all within reasonable walking distances. Also there are a good selection of buses originating in the city to surrounding areas and neighbouring towns and cities. The Hythe and Isle of Wight ferries are located at Town Quay.

Southampton's town walls remained an important defensive feature during the 15th century, the gatehouses sometimes being used as important civic facilities, including acting as the town's guildhall and housing the town gaol. From the end of the 17th century their importance steadily declined and the walls were slowly demolished or adapted for other uses throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. This process continued into the early 20th century until, in the post-war years, the walls were recognised as an important historical feature of Southampton. Conservation projects have since occurred and the walls are now promoted as a tourist attraction.

The property is available mid February and viewing is by arrangement with Morris Dibben and is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location and features of this property.
