With many original character features and high ceilings throughout, the large family home will transport you back in time.
The former vicarage, which is located in Cobden Avenue, only a few minutes away from bustling Bitterne Triangle and the River Itchen, is on the market for £950,000 with Fox & Sons, Bitterne.
The property is characterised by a series of reception rooms with high ceilings and original features.
This includes period fireplaces, a coal fired cooking range, deep skirting boards, original door furniture, and servant call bells with indicator board.
Laid out over two floors, the property boasts nine bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefitting from a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and feature ceiling.
In total, there are two bathrooms in the building.
The property is in a prime location for spectacular scenery due to its proximity to the nearby river.
Panoramic views of the River Itchen can be enjoyed from the upper floor.
The house also includes four reception rooms, fitted kitchen with large larder room, and washroom leading to coal cellar on the ground floor.
Many original features remain in this Edwardian property.
The first reception room benefits from an ornamental Victorian fireplace, glazed bow window to the front aspect with original sash windows.
The third reception room leading to the kitchen is home to the original Edwardian servant's bell box with functional indicator flags, a charming touch to the home.
There is a large driveway on site, offering plenty of rooms for multiple vehicles.
At the rear, you will find a garden split into lawn and lower terrace areas.
