This single-storey semi-detached bungalow on Algernon Street offers straightforward, low-maintenance living for someone looking to downsize without losing space. The layout includes a generous kitchen-diner, lounge with conservatory access, two bedrooms and a single bathroom — all arranged on one level for easy daily living. The boarded loft (with drop-down ladder) adds useful storage or potential conversion scope subject to consent.
Outside there’s a manageable rear garden with paved patio, a front lawn and driveway parking leading to a garage — practical for a car and outdoor hobbies without large upkeep. The property benefits from full double glazing, a mains gas combination boiler, and a modest ground rent and very long lease (999 years), keeping running costs predictable. Council tax is described as cheap and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Be aware of a medium flood risk for the area, which is a material consideration for some buyers and insurers. The home dates from the mid-20th century (1950–1966 era) and, while many fixtures are serviceable, buyers should expect typical updating and maintenance over time rather than a brand-new finish. Tenure is leasehold with a nominal ground rent of £6 per year.
