Swaythling Road, West End, Southampton, SO30

Welcome to this truly exceptional three/four-bedroom semi-detached period home, originally known as Blenheim Villas, dating back to 1887. Brimming with charm, character, and timeless elegance, this property has been cherished by the same family for over a century, creating a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history.

From the moment you arrive, this home captivates with its original features, lovingly preserved and thoughtfully maintained. Ornate ceiling roses, intricate picture rails, beautiful alcoves, and the veranda evoke the classic Victorian character, while wood-burning fireplaces and a limestone and marble surround in the main living area offer warmth and style.

Inside, the home is deceptively spacious and highly versatile. The front reception room can serve as a welcoming sitting room, home office, or even a fourth bedroom. A generously sized living room leads seamlessly into the rear, where potential abounds to create a large open-plan kitchen-living space ideal for modern family living.

What truly sets this home apart is its self-contained annexe—perfect for multi-generational living, guests, or even rental potential. Complete with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom, it offers all the space and privacy of a one-bedroom home, yet remains connected to the main residence for ease and comfort.

Upstairs, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a charming master bedroom to the front, and a spacious family shower room featuring a high-cistern W/C, bidet, and ceramic sink.

Outside, the southerly facing garden is a peaceful haven, designed with both relaxation and practicality in mind. Enjoy summer evenings on the decked seating area, unwind beside the tranquil pond, or soak in the included jacuzzi housed in one of the two large wooden sheds. The expansive lawn area and mature landscaping complete this private outdoor retreat.

This is more than just a house it’s a rare blend of heritage, heart, and home. With endless versatility, stunning original features, and scope to personalise further, this property offers a lifestyle as rich in character as it is in potential.
