Large single-storey living with loft conversion and versatile upper space
This substantial three-bedroom detached bungalow on Yorath Road offers exceptionally generous single-storey living with further usable space in a loft conversion. Wide entrance and an accessible layout suit downsizers seeking level living without sacrificing room sizes — the property measures about 3,175 sq ft and includes a large rear garden, garage and roomy driveway. The bright living room with wide French doors flows out to low-maintenance decking, and a conservatory plus separate utility add practical everyday convenience.
Two front double bedrooms each have en-suite facilities and the second bedroom benefits from a bay window; the third bedroom is currently used as a dining room. The loft conversion provides a versatile upper space with eaves storage and a shower/WC, useful for guests, a home office or hobby space. The kitchen is classically styled with integrated appliances and the media wall in the living room offers a modern focal point.
Important practical points: the house is freehold, built in the 1930s–1940s and has cavity walls likely without added insulation. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the main heating is a mains-gas boiler with radiators. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and parts of the building may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades (wall insulation, window replacement) to reduce running costs. The area records low crime and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, but local deprivation indicators are high — check local services and support if relevant.
Located a short walk from Whitchurch village shops, cafés and restaurants, the bungalow balances convenience with a large private plot. It will appeal to downsizers who want an accessible, roomy home with outdoor space and potential to improve energy performance and interior finishes over time.
