This detached three-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable single-level living on a generous plot in a quiet village setting. The layout includes a spacious lounge, large conservatory, fitted kitchen and a modern main bathroom — practical for downsizers seeking easy-access accommodation with garden and garage.
The property is presented in largely original mid-20th-century style: double glazing was added post-2002 and mains gas central heating provides reliable warmth. Outside there is private rear garden, detached garage and ample off-road parking. Council tax is described as affordable, and the bungalow’s size (approx. 1,228 sq ft) suits those wanting room without stairs.
Available as a freehold, the home is also eligible for a Lifetime Lease through Homewise for purchasers aged 60+, which typically reduces upfront cost versus full market value. The Homewise guide price for the Lifetime Lease example is £297,500 (market value £450,000); the actual price depends on age, circumstances and chosen safeguarded share.
Notable drawbacks include generally dated internal decor and built-in features that will suit some buyers but will need modernisation for others. Broadband speeds are very slow, and local crime statistics are above average — factors to check if connectivity and security are priorities. There is a single bathroom and some rooms are modest in size, so buyers should confirm room measurements and layout meet long-term needs.
