Set on a generous plot in Brightlingsea, this three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is a comfortable, single-storey home suited to downsizers or anyone seeking one-floor living. The large lounge and open-plan kitchen/diner create an airy central living space; broad windows let in natural light and emphasise easy circulation throughout the main rooms.
The property offers three double bedrooms and a family bathroom — practical for guests or family stays, though the single bathroom may feel limiting for some buyers. The layout is traditional and straightforward, and the home would benefit from light to moderate modernisation to update finishes and services to current tastes.
Outside, the plot is a real asset: off-road parking, a single garage for secure storage, and a low-maintenance rear garden with a summer house/home office and greenhouse. These outdoor features add flexible workspace and leisure value without demanding heavy upkeep. The home is chain-free and freehold, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low local crime and no flood risk—practical benefits for everyday comfort and resale.
Age and condition are the main considerations: built in the late 1960s–1970s with double glazing of unknown age and requiring renovation, buyers should budget for updating kitchens, bathroom and cosmetic works. For those seeking a manageable bungalow with good plot size and clear potential, this property offers a calm location near schools, shops and transport links.
