This bungalow sits in a highly sought area of Portishead, set on a large plot with generous gardens to front and rear and estuary views. The single-storey layout, conservatory and flexible room count (listed as 2/3 bedrooms) suit buyers looking to downsize without losing garden space, or those wanting a low-maintenance base with scope for improvement.
There is clear development potential to extend upwards or outwards subject to planning consent, offering a practical route to increase living space or add a third bedroom. Practical benefits include off-road parking, a single garage and modern double glazing installed post-2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for working from home or streaming.
Buyers should note this property is offered freehold and on a large plot but will benefit from updating. The EPC is D, and there is a single bathroom — sensible considerations if energy-efficiency works or reconfiguration are important to you. The home is recorded in a very affluent area with moderate council tax and no flood risk.
Local amenities and schools are nearby: a mix of well-regarded primary and secondary options and everyday shops and services within walking distance. For a purchaser prepared to carry out targeted modernisation or apply for extension consents, this bungalow represents a realistic opportunity to create a comfortable, longer-term home in a desirable Portishead location.
