Tucked in a quiet residential cul-de-sac on The Glade, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers single-level living with genuine downsizing appeal. The layout includes a kitchen/breakfast room, dining area, conservatory and a family shower room; gas central heating and double glazing are already in place. Outside there’s an enclosed rear garden, a single garage and driveway for convenient off-street parking. EPC rating C and low council tax add to running-cost advantages.
The property does need modernisation throughout — cosmetic and some updating work will be required to bring kitchens, bathroom and finishes up to contemporary standards. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and the double glazing appears to pre-date 2002, which may be a future upgrade consideration. These factors are reflected in the price and present a good opportunity for someone willing to refurbish to their own taste.
For buyers seeking easy road access, the A11 is close by, making commuter routes straightforward. Thetford town amenities, schools rated Good, and low local crime create a comfortable suburban setting. The plot is a decent size for a bungalow of this era, with mature shrubs and a raised patio off the conservatory giving outdoor leisure potential.
This home will suit a downsizer or retiree wanting single-floor living with scope to modernise, or a buyer looking for a straightforward refurbishment project with sensible running costs and good transport links.
