Set quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac in Oakdale, this chain-free two-bedroom bungalow offers a straightforward, low-rise home with genuine scope to refresh and tailor. The layout includes a fitted kitchen, lounge/dining room with garden access, and a single bathroom with both bath and separate shower cubicle. A staircase leads to a large loft room that provides substantial storage or conversion potential (subject to consent).
Externally the plot is generous for the area: a long driveway provides ample off-street parking and the split-level rear garden is elevated, enjoying distant views over the harbour and the Purbeck Hills. A large timber summerhouse adds outdoor living/studio flexibility. The property is freehold and sits close to local schools, shops and transport links into Poole and beyond.
Practical considerations: the bungalow needs modernisation and some updating throughout. The walls are cavity construction with no known insulation added, double glazing dates unknown, and the heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators — buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and interior refurbishment. Crime in the immediate area is above average; purchasers should factor local safety measures.
This home will suit a downsizer or buyer looking for a manageable, single-storey living base with parking and good local amenities, and for those willing to invest modestly to modernise. With no forward chain and a sizable garden with views, it presents clear upside for anyone seeking to personalise a mid-20th-century bungalow in a comfortable suburbia setting.
