Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Countesthorpe, this two-bedroom detached bungalow offers easy single‑storey living ideal for downsizers and retirees. The layout includes a spacious lounge with patio doors, a conservatory overlooking the rear garden, and an attached garage with driveway parking. Offered with no onward chain, it’s ready for a quick move or light modernisation to personalise.
The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s and is well maintained but shows mid‑century finishes throughout — exposed beams, dated wallpaper and traditional fittings — so buyers should expect some updating to reach contemporary standards. Accommodation totals about 820 sq ft with one shower room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, utility and useful workshop space accessed from the garage.
Practical positives include gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The garden is low‑maintenance with patio and lawn. Local amenities are strong: nearby schools, shops, leisure facilities and regular bus links in Countesthorpe with a generally affluent, suburban setting.
Material points to note: the home has only one shower room, mid‑20th‑century décor that will need refreshing, and measurements should be rechecked by buyers. Viewing is recommended to assess layout, storage and modernisation potential in person.
