Summary - Shaftsbury Road, Orrell, WN5 WN5 0JD
3 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Single-level living with garage, long drive and large front garden.
Detached true bungalow with three bedrooms
This detached three-bedroom true bungalow sits on Shaftsbury Road in a quiet, tucked-away part of Orrell and will suit buyers seeking single-level living or downsizers wanting room to personalise. The layout is traditional with a large lounge, functional kitchen and a single shower room; the accommodation sits within about 863 sq ft of living space.
Outside there is a generous lawned front garden, a long side driveway providing ample off-street parking and an attached garage that offers storage or workshop potential. The property has double glazing (upgraded after 2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and filled cavity walls — solid basics to work from.
The bungalow needs renovation throughout: fittings are dated (notably the 1980s-style bathroom), and some updating is required to bring the accommodation up to modern standards. It is leasehold with a long lease remaining (946 years) and a low ground rent of £18; EPC is to be confirmed. There is no onward chain, which could speed a straightforward purchase and refurbishment timetable.
This home represents a practical opportunity for someone wanting a single-storey property in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood close to local schools and bus links. Buyers should budget for refurbishment work rather than a move-in-ready purchase, but the plot, layout and long lease provide strong scope to create a comfortable long-term home.
