This detached three-bedroom bungalow occupies a large plot in a popular Southbourne cul-de-sac, offered with no forward chain. The single-storey layout, westerly rear garden and easy off-road parking with garage suit downsizers or families seeking a quiet, low-maintenance home near local amenities and schools.
Internally the home provides an open-plan sitting/dining room with bay window, a separate kitchen with built-in oven and hob, and three bedrooms served by one family bathroom. Newly fitted carpets have been installed throughout, but the property generally needs modernisation and cosmetic updating to match contemporary expectations.
Outside the garden is landscaped for low maintenance with shingle, a paved patio with pergola, garden room, greenhouse and summerhouse — offering immediate outdoor enjoyment and space for hobbies. Practical benefits include a driveway, garage and easy walking distance to shops, the train station, bus route and nearby good primary and secondary schools.
Key positives are the plot size, single-level living and convenient location; material drawbacks are the need for renovation, only one bathroom, and above-average council tax. The house represents clear potential for improvement or conversion of space to increase value, subject to the usual planning checks.
