This chain-free, two-bedroom mid-20th-century bungalow offers an affordable entry into Stanley with a compact, single-storey layout and 547 sqft of living space. The property sits on a small plot with a paved driveway, front garden overlooking a public field and a rear yard — practical outdoor space for planting or patioing.
Inside, rooms are neutrally presented and ready to occupy: a lounge with porch access and storage cupboard, a fitted kitchen with light units, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. The bungalow benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and low council tax, keeping running costs modest.
Important factors to note: the area shows high crime and very high deprivation, which may affect resale appeal and neighbourhood feel. The walls are cavity-built with no insulation assumed, and glazing is older, so the home will be colder and less efficient than modern standards—upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. For first-time buyers or those looking to renovate on a budget, this property presents clear potential but requires some investment to modernise and improve energy performance.
