Set quietly in a cul-de-sac on Ashley Road, this true semi‑detached bungalow offers single‑storey living with a generous front and rear garden and detached garage — practical for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing outdoor space. The layout currently provides two double bedrooms plus a smaller third room used as a snug/TV room, a living room with a feature fireplace, and a kitchen with basic fittings. Chain free and with a long lease (999 years) it’s ready for a straightforward purchase.
The house is modest in size (approx. 680 sq ft) and dates from the mid‑20th century, so it will suit buyers seeking a manageable home to personalise rather than a turnkey modern property. The double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators and garage with power are useful existing benefits. The plot’s scale and positioning mean there’s scope to extend up or out (subject to permissions), creating potential to increase living space or add contemporary features.
There are several practical drawbacks to note. The interior shows dated decor and some upkeep is needed; fittings and finishes are basic and likely to require updating. Heating details in some rooms reference electric storage heaters and an electric fire, so buyers should check the current central heating configuration. The property is leasehold (nominal ground rent £9) and sits in a wider area classified as deprived — local schools are mixed in performance and one nearby secondary is rated Inadequate. Council tax is low and broadband/mobile connectivity are good.
This bungalow will appeal to downsizers who prioritise single‑level living, outside space and parking (including space for a caravan/motorhome), or to buyers wanting a sensible renovation project with extension potential. It is most suited to those prepared to update interiors and confirm heating arrangements.
