Cheam Way, Totton, Southampton, SO40 3PL

Hamwic Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this spacious and well-proportioned two/three bedroom mid-terraced home, presenting an excellent opportunity for purchasers looking for a property they can modernise and refurbish to their own taste.

Requiring general cosmetic updating throughout, the property provides a fantastic blank canvas with generous accommodation including a separate living room, spacious kitchen/dining room, two genuine double bedrooms and an additional study/occasional third bedroom, which could lend to be converting to a larger Master bedroom. 

Importantly, whilst cosmetic modernisation is required, the property already benefits from an updated Worcester gas combination boiler and updated electrical consumer unit, providing valuable improvements for the incoming purchaser.

Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed rear garden, detached garage and the particularly useful advantage of private rear vehicular access via a service road, providing additional practicality rarely found with other areas. 

Offering plenty of scope to improve and add value, this would make an excellent first-time purchase, family venture or investment opportunity for buyers prepared to undertake modernisation.

Frontage & Approach
The property is set back from the road behind a traditional brick boundary wall, with an iron gate opening onto the front garden.

The garden features a mixture of established planting and mature shrubs, creating an attractive approach to the property, with a pathway leading towards the covered entrance.

A double glazed entrance door opens into the hallway.

Entrance Hall
The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the property, with fitted carpet, radiator and carpeted stairs rising to the first floor.

A door opens into the separate living room.

Living Room
Positioned at the front of the property, the living room is a comfortable and well-proportioned reception space, enhanced by an attractive double glazed box bay window overlooking the front garden and allowing plenty of natural light into the room.

A feature fireplace with fitted fire and surround provides a traditional focal point, whilst further features include fitted carpet, radiator and textured ceiling.

A door leads through into the kitchen/dining room.

Kitchen / Dining Room
Occupying the rear of the property, the kitchen/dining room offers excellent proportions and plenty of potential to create a stylish contemporary family space as part of a future refurbishment.

The existing kitchen comprises a range of base and eye-level cupboards and drawers complemented by work surfaces and an inset single sink unit. Cooking facilities include an integrated oven with four-ring gas hob and extractor hood above, whilst there is space and plumbing for a washing machine together with space for a fridge.

A central island-style worktop provides additional preparation space and useful storage beneath, whilst a generous understairs cupboard offers further everyday storage.

The room provides ample space for a dining table and features a characterful open fireplace, radiator and textured ceiling. A double glazed window overlooks the rear garden, whilst a separate double glazed door provides direct access outside.

For buyers looking to undertake a refurbishment, the size and arrangement of this room provides an excellent foundation from which to redesign the kitchen and dining space to suit their individual requirements.

First Floor Landing
Carpeted stairs rise to the first floor landing, providing access to Bedroom Two and the family bathroom together with an opening leading towards the study/occasional Bedroom Three and principal bedroom.

The landing also provides access to the loft space.

Bedroom One
The principal bedroom is a generous double positioned at the front of the property.

An attractive double glazed box bay window provides plenty of natural light and overlooks the front garden, whilst the room is finished with fitted carpet and radiator.

Bedroom One is currently accessed via the adjoining study/occasional third bedroom, creating an interesting opportunity for purchasers considering alterations to the existing first floor arrangement.

Study / Occasional Bedroom Three
Positioned at the front of the first floor, this useful additional room provides excellent versatility and could be utilised as a home office, dressing room, nursery or occasional third bedroom, depending upon the requirements of the new owner.

The room benefits from fitted carpet, textured ceiling and a double glazed front aspect window, with a sliding door providing access into Bedroom One.

The current arrangement also provides potential for purchasers to consider reconfiguring the first floor layout as part of a wider refurbishment, subject to feasibility and any necessary approvals.

Bedroom Two

Rear Garden
The enclosed rear garden provides a practical and relatively low-maintenance outdoor space.

A paved patio immediately adjoins the property, providing an ideal area for outdoor furniture, with the remainder predominantly laid to gravel. A paved pathway continues through the garden towards the detached garage.

A useful UPVC garden shed provides additional external storage, whilst timber fencing encloses the garden.

At the rear, a timber gate provides access onto a private service road with vehicular access, creating excellent practicality and providing direct access to the garage from behind the property.

Detached Garage & Rear Access

The combination of a garage, private rear access and enclosed garden is a valuable addition to the property and further enhances its practicality for future owners.

Overall, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious traditional home offering generous accommodation and plenty of scope for improvement. With an updated boiler and electrical consumer unit already in place, buyers can concentrate on transforming the interiors and creating a home tailored to their own style and requirements.
