Area has above‑average crime and local deprivation factors
Set on a generous, well‑planted plot in a sought-after Melton Mowbray location, this detached two‑bedroom bungalow offers true single‑level living and immediate possession with no onward chain. The layout includes an entrance porch, spacious living room, kitchen‑diner, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom — all arranged on one accessible floor, ideal for anyone seeking a low‑step home.
Outside, mature hedging provides privacy and a sizeable garden to side and rear, plus a driveway and detached garage for parking and storage. The plot offers scope for extension or garden redesign, subject to planning permission, making this a good proposition for buyers who want to add value over time.
The property is solidly built (solid brick walls, original mid‑20th century construction) but requires updating. Features include double glazing and mains gas via a community heating scheme, but the Energy Rating is E and insulation appears limited — upgrading heating, insulation and internal finishes will be needed to improve comfort and running costs.
Practical points: the home is freehold and council tax band D, located in a town with good commuter links and local schools. Note the area's above‑average crime level and relative local deprivation; these are factual factors to weigh alongside the house and plot potential.
