A rare opportunity to buy a larger-than-average detached true bungalow set on a very private corner plot of approximately 0.1 acre. The single-level layout includes three good-sized bedrooms (one en-suite), two reception rooms and a large kitchen/dining room, all offering flexible reconfiguration potential for a buyer who wants to modernise or extend. The property is offered freehold and chain free, with off-road parking and an attached single garage.
The plot and location are strong selling points: a decent-sized, secluded garden with mature trees, a quiet cul-de-sac position off Walgarth Drive, and excellent commuter links via the M61/M62. Local amenities include shops, nurseries and several schools nearby (a mix of Good and Outstanding Ofsted ratings), making the house suitable for downsizers wanting single-level living or buyers seeking a renovation/development opportunity.
The bungalow does require significant updating. External finishes show peeling render/paint and a worn garage door. Internally there are signs of dated décor, areas needing refurbishment, and evidence of damp in the living room that will require investigation and repair. The property will appeal to buyers prepared to invest in modernisation to realise the site’s potential; its size, plot and no-chain status make it attractive for refurbishment or redesign.
Practical details: the home is freehold, council tax band D (moderate), broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. Crime levels are average and the wider area is described as very affluent, which supports long-term value once improvements are completed.
