This two-bedroom detached bungalow on Porthleven Road offers practical single-storey living on a corner plot — appealing for downsizers or buyers wanting ground-floor convenience. The property is chain free, freehold and in a low-crime, comfortable suburban area with good local schools and bus links nearby.
Inside, the layout includes a spacious lounge with French doors into a conservatory, a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The home benefits from off-street parking for multiple vehicles and an EV charging point. Council tax is band B, keeping running costs comparatively low.
There are some trade-offs to note. Main heating is electric ceiling heating and the main fuel is electricity, which may be more expensive than gas; broadband speeds are reported as slow. The property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with cavity walls that have partial insulation and double glazing of unknown age — sensible buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades or modernisation.
Externally the house has a conservatory opening to a rear patio, several planted seating areas and driveway side access. The listing describes a sizeable corner plot and good parking, though official plot size is recorded as small; prospective buyers should verify exact boundaries and garden area if outdoor space is a priority.
With no onward chain and a convenient, single-level layout, this bungalow suits someone seeking an immediately habitable home with scope to improve energy performance and modern finishes over time.
