Broadband and mobile signal are good, council tax is low, and the neighbourhood is quiet with low crime — a sensible option for downsizers or buyers seeking a single-level home with development potential.
Overall this bungalow suits buyers looking for a manageable, chain-free purchase on a generous plot. If you want ready-to-move-in luxury this is not it, but for someone prepared to invest in updating, the size of the garden, garage and parking add genuine long-term value.
