This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Birch Lea offers a rare single-storey layout and a large wrap-around garden — ideal for buyers seeking one-level living and outdoor space. The living room, separate dining area and conservatory provide flexible space to personalise, while driveway parking and a garage add practical value.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom renewal and general refurbishment are needed. Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, it has double glazing and gas central heating but will suit buyers prepared for a renovation project or those wanting to adapt the layout to their needs.
Important sale details affect buyer costs and timescale. The home is being sold via a Modern Method of Auction with an undisclosed reserve, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and additional buyer administration charges. Buyers should complete their own due diligence; the sale timetable expects completion within 56 days.
Location benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and convenient commuter links (close to Crawley and Gatwick). Note practical drawbacks: only one full bathroom plus separate WC, above-average council tax banding and a local recorded higher crime level. This is a solid opportunity for downsizers or buyers seeking a renovation with scope to add value in a well-connected town setting.
