About this property
A striking and substantial detached period residence occupying a wonderfully convenient position in the heart of Portswood, one of Southampton's most vibrant and sought-after residential quarters, and just a short walk from the University of Southampton's Highfield Campus.
This handsome Edwardian property presents a rare and exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project with considerable scope, most notably as a substantial House in Multiple Occupation (subject to obtaining the necessary permissions), given its exceptional proportions, twelve bedrooms, and prime position within one of Southampton's premier students and professional letting locations.
Arranged over three floors and extending to in excess of 4,400 sq ft, the property has most recently served as a registered children's home, and the accommodation retains a wealth of scope alongside later adaptations for communal living.
The ground floor is centred around a wonderfully proportioned reception hall, sitting room, and dining room, together with a fitted kitchen, office, and further bedrooms and bathrooms, while the first and second floors provide a wealth of further bedrooms, several with adjacent or en suite bath and shower rooms, alongside a utility room and generous landing and hall spaces.
Outside, the property benefits from off road parking to the front via a sweeping driveway, together with a large, mature rear garden which offers excellent potential for landscaping and enjoys a good degree of privacy thanks to timber fencing and surrounding trees. An external staircase provides secondary access to the first floor.
Lawn Road itself forms part of the historic Portswood House estate, the original mansion having once stood close to this very spot, with the wider area developing rapidly through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries into the popular residential suburb it remains today.
