Built 1900–1929 — period features but requires modernisation
This detached two-bedroom bungalow sits on a notably large plot in South Moor and offers roomy, single-level living with extra loft space. The layout includes a spacious lounge, separate dining area, kitchen, utility room, and a conservatory, making it well suited to those wanting comfortable, adaptable accommodation without stairs. The property is offered chain-free and includes off-street parking plus a garage.
Practical benefits include a large garden ideal for gardening or outdoor relaxation, a private en-suite to the main bedroom, and a versatile loft/attic room that could serve as a home office or hobby space. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local primary and secondary schools nearby have good Ofsted ratings, which supports family-friendly use or long-term occupation.
Buyers should note clear areas for improvement: the EPC rating is E and walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades would improve efficiency and running costs. Double glazing appears to pre-date 2002 and the property’s construction (1900–1929) means some systems and finishes may be older and could benefit from updating. The area records higher-than-average crime and the wider neighbourhood sits in a very deprived classification, factors to consider for long-term value and lifestyle.
Overall, this home will suit someone seeking roomy, single-floor living with scope to modernise for better energy performance and comfort. It’s particularly appropriate for downsizers or buyers wanting extra garden space and garage storage who are prepared to invest in sensible upgrades.
