A compact, two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow designed for over-55s, offered freehold with no onward chain. The property sits on a small plot in a quiet development and includes an allocated off-street parking space — a useful practical benefit for residents.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance hall with storage, a medium-sized lounge, two modest bedrooms and a simple kitchen and bathroom. The bungalow has double glazing throughout and electric storage heaters; these characteristics suit a low-maintenance lifestyle but mean heating is electric-only and may be costly to run.
The property requires some renovation and updating — cosmetic refreshes in the living areas and kitchen are needed, and buyers should commission condition reports for services and fittings. Its small overall size and very small garden make it best suited to downsizers or retirees seeking single-storey living close to local amenities rather than families needing extensive space.
Local advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low local crime and proximity to Harwich’s seafront and facilities. The development’s rural traits and retirement classification offer a quiet setting, while the area’s wider socio-economic indicators suggest local services vary; purchasers should consider this when evaluating long-term lifestyle requirements.
