This semi-detached two-bedroom bungalow on Oldmixon Road is a practical, single-storey home suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a straightforward renovation project. Built in the late 1970s/early 1980s, the property offers a lounge, separate kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms and a shower room across about 603 sq ft. It is chain free and sold freehold, with mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and no flood risk.
The plot is a genuine asset: a decent-sized front and rear garden, driveway parking and an integral garage with power and light. The rear is low-maintenance (largely chippings and patio) and there is easy access to local shops, buses and the nearby hospital — handy for medical staff or those prioritising local services. Council tax is described as affordable.
The bungalow requires updating throughout; fixtures, finishes and some systems will benefit from modernisation to raise value and comfort. The surrounding area shows signs of socio-economic challenge and recorded higher local crime rates, which prospective buyers should weigh against the low-maintenance plot and renovation potential. For those seeking a manageable single-storey home to personalise in a convenient south-side location, this property merits an internal viewing.
