Set on a large plot in a non-estate, sought-after Shanklin neighbourhood, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-level living with practical outdoor space. The lounge/diner opens onto a sunny south-facing balcony, and a driveway leads to a remote-control single garage — useful for parking and storage. The property is offered freehold and with no onward chain, which may suit buyers wanting a straightforward move.
The layout is traditional and functional: two bedrooms, a lounge/diner, kitchen, side porch/garden room and one bathroom. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows and doors have replacement uPVC double glazing fitted before 2002. The bungalow was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and presents good scope for updating, particularly the kitchen and internal finishes.
Notable points to consider: the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and windows pre-date modern standards, so energy efficiency improvements are likely needed. The kitchen and some internal areas are dated and would benefit from refurbishment. There is only a single bathroom and moderate council tax (Band D), which are practical but may limit appeal for larger households.
This property will suit downsizers seeking convenient town access, buyers looking to adapt a single-storey home, or investors aiming to improve and re-let. An internal viewing is recommended to assess the accommodation and potential upgrades in person.
