Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Thorpe Bay, this three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers practical family living with immediate possession — no onward chain. The layout gives ground-floor living potential with two reception rooms, a separate utility and a garage plus off-street parking. Its 1,174 sq ft footprint provides a comfortable base to live in while planning future changes.
The property has clear scope to extend (subject to planning permission), making it attractive for families who want to add space or investors seeking added value. It benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating and very low local crime levels. Shops, bus links and schools — including an outstanding selective girls’ secondary — are all within walking distance.
Buyers should note the house dates from the late 1960s/1970s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated; updating and modernisation may be required to achieve contemporary energy performance. There is only a single bathroom and any extension would need a planning application (no permission is in place). Overall, this is a well-located, freehold bungalow with clear potential for enlargement and refurbishment in an affluent, fast-connected neighbourhood.
