Rooms are generously proportioned and the plot includes a south-facing rear garden, garage and driveway parking—rare conveniences for this area. The property sits in a very low-crime, very affluent neighbourhood with good transport links to Blackburn and the Ribble Valley.

The EPC rating of D and partial cavity wall insulation indicate scope to improve energy performance. There is one bathroom plus a separate WC; this layout will suit downsizers or purchasers who want to adapt the space, for example converting the dining room into an additional bedroom.
Externally the south-facing garden is a strong selling point—tiered, private and with far-reaching Ribble Valley views, plus a summer house and greenhouse. The garage adds storage and parking capacity alongside the driveway. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and local amenities and regular bus services are within easy reach, supporting comfortable everyday living.
Overall this bungalow offers a comfortable, practical home now and clear potential to increase value through sympathetic updating. It will particularly suit downsizers or buyers seeking single-floor accommodation who are prepared to invest in modernisation to personalise the property and improve energy efficiency.
