Arranged over approximately 765 sq ft, the layout includes a comfortable lounge, conservatory, kitchen with small dining area, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The plot includes a paved driveway with off-street parking and a generous rear garden with mature planting.
Practical features include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and an accessibility ramp to the entrance, making day-to-day living easier. The conservatory provides a bright extra sitting space overlooking the garden and there is useful storage in the bedrooms and an external brick shed. The property is freehold and presented as a retirement-friendly home in a convenient location close to Ashby shopping and local amenities.
The bungalow is perfectly liveable but does need modernisation to update finishes and services to current tastes. Expect cosmetic improvements and some refurbishment work rather than a full rebuild; buyers should factor in updating kitchens, flooring and decoration. Note the local area records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this home offers straightforward single-floor living, a large private garden and clear scope to add value with relatively modest renovation. It will appeal to those seeking a manageable retirement property near shops and transport, who are comfortable investing time and budget to modernise to their own standards.
