Quiet, single-storey living in a tidy cul-de-sac: this 2-bedroom bungalow offers low-effort, retirement-friendly accommodation with a sizeable rear garden for outdoor enjoyment. The traditional layout and double glazing make day-to-day living straightforward, while mains gas central heating and fast broadband support modern comforts.
Internally the property is well cared for but shows dated 1980s style in places and would benefit from cosmetic updating to current tastes. At 539 sq ft the footprint is compact — ideal for downsizers seeking manageable space but limiting for those needing large storage or entertaining areas. The home is chain free and freehold, simplifying purchase for a cash or mortgage buyer.
There is an annual service charge of approximately £1,396.16 (paid quarterly). This covers communal or managed elements linked to the retirement development and should be factored into ongoing costs. Council tax is described as low.
Situated in a comfortable suburban pocket of Royton with good local amenities, bus links and several well-rated schools nearby, the property suits an over-55 buyer wanting a peaceful, low-maintenance base with potential to modernise and personalise over time.
