This newly renovated two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, a short walk from Benfleet Station and the Benfleet Downs. Its single-storey layout and bright lounge/diner make it particularly suitable for downsizers or buyers seeking an accessible, low-stairs home. The property is offered freehold with no onward chain and a guide price of £375,000–£385,000.
The interior has been updated with a modern shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances, a fully tiled bathroom, laminate flooring and inset spotlights throughout. The main bedroom includes a useful walk-in wardrobe. Large UPVC French doors open from the lounge/diner onto a landscaped rear garden with patio and decking, creating easy indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining or relaxed evenings.
Practical benefits include a long driveway and garage for off-street parking, a decent plot with side access, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working. The bungalow dates from the 1950s–1960s and retains solid brick walls and double glazing fitted before 2002; further insulation or window upgrades may improve comfort and energy performance.
Buyers should note the local crime rate is above average for the area. While the home is modernised throughout, its mid-century construction means there may be hidden maintenance or retrofit costs (for example, wall insulation or newer glazing) if you prioritise the highest energy efficiency. Overall, this is a ready-to-move-into, well-located bungalow with scope to enhance long-term running costs and comfort.
