Characterful family home with modern heat pump and expansive gardens.
Extremely large detached dormer bungalow with flexible 3–4 bedroom layout
A substantial detached dormer bungalow on Bryning Avenue that blends period character with recent upgrades. Newly renovated throughout, the house keeps original features — stained glass bay windows, decorative cornicing and high ceilings — while introducing modern comforts such as a new heat-pump system (2024) with a 15-year guarantee and new carpets and flooring.
The flexible layout suits growing families: two double bedrooms and the family bathroom on the ground floor, with a large first-floor bedroom and newly fitted en-suite. The first-floor sitting room/home office can be converted into a fourth bedroom subject to planning, giving genuine scope for adaptation. The bright kitchen/diner opens to a spacious conservatory and a large, well-kept rear garden ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
Practical features include off-street driveway parking, tandem garage with part-converted utility area, modern double glazing, and mains gas heating. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and a selection of good-rated primary and secondary schools sit close by, while the seafront and local shops are within easy reach.
Notable considerations: the property dates from the 1930s and external walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation, so further insulating work may be needed to maximise energy savings despite the new heat pump. The wider area shows signs of social and economic deprivation and average local crime levels; council tax is moderate. Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with modern systems in place but some potential for further energy-efficiency improvements.
