Orchards Way, Highfield, Southampton, Hampshire, SO17

This spacious semi-detached house was built by the renowned architect Herbert Collins and has been a much cherished home for many decades. It is offered for sale with no forward chain and found in a tucked away location within a highly sought after residential area which enjoys conservation status. This property will appeal to purchasers seeking a traditional design that will allow them to update the interior to their preferences. The hallway creates a warm welcome and has a cloakroom, while the dining room is divided from the family room, but could revert to its original design.

On the first floor the landing has a useful cupboard and a hatch with a ladder allowing access to the loft.
