This spacious two-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a large plot and has been newly renovated throughout, offering comfortable move-in-ready accommodation with scope for personalisation. The living room centres on a cosy log burner and the home benefits from a brand new roof and recent heating works. At approximately 1,271 sq ft, the layout feels generous for a bungalow and is well suited to families wanting single-storey living.
The rear garden is a standout: mature, extensive and productive, with five fruit trees, two ponds, an extended greenhouse and a substantial 30ft workshop. The plot offers genuine extension potential (subject to planning and the property's Small Site Special Policy restriction), or useful outside space for hobbies, pets and gardening.
Practical details to note: the property is freehold, has off-street parking for two cars, double glazing and an EPC rating of D. Heating is by electric room heaters (system around three years old) rather than gas central heating, which contributes to running costs. Buyers should also be aware the property sits in a higher-crime and more deprived local area and the SSSP restriction may limit certain development options.
For families, the location is convenient for local primary and secondary schools and sits close to Knighton Heath Golf Course and the Heath. The bungalow is a strong option for buyers prioritising a large private garden, single-storey living and a recently refurbished interior, while those seeking lower running costs or significant development potential should factor in the heating type and planning constraints.
