3 bed detached house for sale

Bassett Wood Drive, Bassett, Southampton, Hampshire SO16

Situated in one of Bassett’s most prestigious addresses, Bassett Wood Drive, this substantial and elegantly presented detached executive home occupies a generous, mature plot and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property with both impressive existing space and considerable future potential.

Currently extending to over 217 sqm, the home is thoughtfully arranged, with a welcoming central hallway providing access to the main ground floor rooms, along with useful built-in storage, a cloakroom WC, and stairs to the first floor.

The accommodation is arranged around four key ground floor spaces, beginning with a superb dual-aspect sitting room, bathed in natural light, and offering direct access to the rear garden via French doors—making it an inviting central hub for family relaxation and entertaining.

To the other side of the home, a beautifully appointed kitchen with adjoining dining area features classic shaker-style cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, and some integrated and freestanding appliances. This space is the true heart of the home, perfect for both everyday family meals and larger gatherings.

A further versatile reception room offers the flexibility to be used as a formal dining room, additional sitting room, or with a well-considered alteration opened to create an expansive open-plan kitchen/living space in line with modern expectations.

To the rear, a dedicated study provides a peaceful home-working environment or could easily serve as a ground-floor bedroom, depending on lifestyle needs.

Upstairs, the generous first floor mirrors the spaciousness below, comprising three large double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a highlight, measuring over six metres in length and complete with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, both served by a stylish contemporary family bathroom.
A door from the landing opens onto a charming balcony, ideally positioned to soak in the sun and enjoy peaceful views of the surrounding woodland.

Externally, the property sits within a mature, tree-lined wrap-around plot with a large shingle driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached double garage with up-and-over door, side access, and courtesy windows. The gardens are a true delight—offering patio terraces for entertaining, generous lawned areas, and a tranquil, wooded backdrop.

In this area, homes of this scale are often configured as four or five beds, this substantial three-bedroom home offers excellent scope to reconfigure to suit changing family needs or increase the bedroom count through clever reconfiguration.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a home of this calibre in one of Bassett’s most desirable locations, combining space, privacy, and potential in equal measure.
