3 bed 1 bath Bungalow

Spacious lounge/diner plus conservatory, flexible living space
Dated 1980s kitchen and shower room — needs modernisation

Freehold tenure, Council Tax Band C, no flood risk
A single-storey home arranged on a large plot within easy reach of Walton town centre and the seafront. The bungalow offers a generous lounge/diner, conservatory and three bedrooms laid out for comfortable, ground-floor living — well suited to downsizers or retirees wanting a practical, low-maintenance base near local shops and transport.
The property has gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and off-street parking via a gravelled driveway. The fitted kitchen and bathroom show period fittings and will benefit from updating; the building dates from the mid-20th century and cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements (loft, wall insulation, boiler review) could reduce running costs and improve the EPC E rating.
Externally the easy-care front and paved rear garden provide simple maintenance and scope for landscaping or creating a more sheltered seating area. There is potential to improve kerb appeal and interior layout — including the conservatory and lounge link — to add value. Note the property has a single shower room plus a separate cloakroom, so family-style use may be less convenient than a modern two-bath arrangement.
Location is a key strength: shops, a new shopping precinct (including national supermarkets), seafront and rail links at Walton and Frinton are all close by. Practical drawbacks to consider are the dated kitchen and some likely retrofit work to bring insulation and energy performance up to modern standards. The freehold tenure and affordable council tax band make this a straightforward purchase for someone prioritising single-level living near amenities.
