Single-floor living with garage and large conservatory in a seaside town.
Corner-plot bungalow with wrap-around low-maintenance garden
This single-storey bungalow sits on a corner plot in Portland and offers practical, low-maintenance living for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The bright lounge opens into a large south-facing conservatory that spans most of the rear, creating an airy living area and flexible extra accommodation. Two double bedrooms and a separate utility room make day-to-day life straightforward and well organised.
Externally the wrap-around garden is paved and designed for low upkeep, with a large patio and shed for storage. A generous side garage with electric roller door and power outlets provides secure parking and extra storage. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown).
The bungalow is well presented throughout, ready to move into, but it dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s so buyers should expect era-related upkeep or modernisation over time. The local area offers good amenities and scenic cliffside walks, yet wider neighbourhood indicators show higher deprivation and an average crime rate; prospective buyers should view in person to judge the local environment.
Practical positives include cheap council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for retirees who stay connected or part-time home workers. Schools nearby are rated Good, and regular local services (shops, buses, leisure) are within walking distance, making daily life convenient.
