Set on an exceptionally large plot of around 0.75 acres, this single‑storey detached bungalow delivers rare, roomy living all on one level. At almost 3,000 sq ft the layout includes a substantial 24ft lounge/dining room, a large kitchen/breakfast room, study, utility and four generous bedrooms including a principal with en‑suite. Mature planting and private off‑street parking for several vehicles front the property, while a paved patio and broad lawns provide a peaceful rear garden setting with direct access to the Shrubberies.
The bungalow offers immediate family comfort and clear potential for further value‑adding work. The double garage and extensive forecourt are useful for multi‑vehicle households; the plot and direct access to adjoining green space create scope for an extension or redevelopment (planning application not specified). The large rooms and single‑storey footprint suit families who prefer level living, flexible space for home working, or those considering a remodel to contemporary tastes.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is of solid brick construction with assumed lack of wall insulation, glazing dates are unknown, and some updating may be needed to meet modern energy‑efficiency standards. There is reported potential for development on the land, but any scheme would require formal planning consent. Local data flags higher crime levels in the immediate area despite the wider neighbourhood being relatively affluent — an important factor for buyers to consider.
In summary, this is a substantial, well‑positioned bungalow offering generous accommodation, versatile outdoor space and development upside. It will particularly suit families seeking a large single‑storey home with room to adapt, or purchasers prepared to invest in modernisation and pursue planning opportunities.
