This extended two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in a quiet Leys Road cul-de-sac suits buyers looking to downsize without compromising on outdoor space or parking. The single-storey layout includes a conservatory, separate lounge, breakfast room and a garage, with a good-sized rear garden and ample off-road parking.
The property offers immediate comfort but will reward updating: the interior is dated and presents clear renovation potential to improve energy efficiency and style. The energy rating is E, and the gas central heating and boiler have not been tested, so buyers should allow for mechanical and energy upgrades.
Set in an affluent, low-crime small-town fringe location with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the home provides convenient access to local shops, bus links and nearby schools rated Good. It is chain-free and freehold, simplifying a swift purchase.
Practical facts to note: the overall living area is compact at about 496 sq ft, so it’s best suited to couples or individuals seeking single-level living. The bungalow was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while structurally standard with filled cavity walls and double glazing, it will benefit from cosmetic modernisation and possible energy improvements.
