Single-storey home with large garden and garage — ideal for downsizers seeking space and extension potential..
Detached three-bedroom bungalow on large plot with patio and lawn
This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Buckskin Lane offers practical single-storey living in a very affluent, low-crime area of Basingstoke. The property is freehold, in good condition and sits on a large plot with a mature lawn and patio — there is clear scope to extend or remodel subject to planning. The single garage and gravel driveway provide secure parking and useful storage.
Internally the layout is traditional with a single reception room, kitchen and one bathroom; the rooms are well-proportioned and suit a downsizer or household wanting ground-floor convenience. Services are conventional — mains gas boiler and radiators — and the house benefits from double glazing. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which suits home working.
Notable downsides are practical and should be considered before viewing: the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work may be needed. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and council tax is above average. While the bungalow is in good order, the kitchen and bathroom offer opportunity for updating to modern tastes.
Overall this is a rare detached bungalow on a large plot in an affluent pocket of Basingstoke — attractive to downsizers who want a manageable, single-storey home with straightforward potential to improve and extend.
