Summary - 21 DOWNSWAY SOUTHWICK BRIGHTON BN42 4WA
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Large detached bungalow with conservatory, loft potential and room to modernise..
Detached extended 'Barclay' bungalow on a decent plot
This extended, detached ‘Barclay’ bungalow offers generous single-storey living with strong potential to modernise and add value. Set on a decent plot in a popular Southwick street, the layout includes two large double bedrooms (originally three), an 18' lounge and a full-width 24'4" lean-to conservatory that brings significant extra light and living space. A usable 21' loft provides scope for further accommodation or storage, subject to necessary consents.
The property is freehold, in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with excellent local schools and good transport links into Brighton. Practical benefits include a block-paved driveway for multiple cars, a detached garage and a westerly rear garden suited to evening sun. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; double glazing is already installed (pre-2002).
Key drawbacks are clear and unavoidable: the house needs renovation throughout, the kitchen and bathroom are dated mid-20th century, and the current two-bedroom layout was reconfigured from three bedrooms. Any loft conversion or structural alterations would require planning and building regulation approvals. Buyers should factor renovation costs into their budget.
This bungalow will suit downsizers seeking roomy, single-level accommodation they can update gradually, or investors/renovators looking for a property with scope to improve and increase value. Early inspection is recommended to assess configuration and renovation potential in person.
