Set on a notably large plot, this two-bedroom detached freehold bungalow is offered with no onward chain and genuine scope. The property includes a detached garage, a powered studio/garden office and a long tandem driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Strong commuter links (M1/M62) and several highly rated local schools make the location practical for downsizers and families.
The accommodation is compact (c.538 sq ft) and arranged as a bungalow with two attic rooms accessed by a drop-down ladder. Key living spaces include an open-plan living/dining room, a conservatory and a fitted kitchen. The bungalow dates from the mid-20th century, has double glazing, a gas boiler with radiators and an EPC rating of D.
Important considerations: the house shows signs of age and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation; the property will benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades. The attic rooms are useful but reached by a ladder and may require alteration for full-time use. Crime levels in the area are reported as high, and any plot redevelopment would be subject to planning consent.
For buyers prioritising outside space, parking and redevelopment scope, this plot presents clear potential. For those seeking a ready-to-move-in bungalow, expect to budget for updating, insulation improvements and possible structural or planning work to realise loft or plot extensions.
