Set on a generous corner plot in Brightlingsea, this detached two-bedroom bungalow is offered with no onward chain and clear potential for improvement. The home features twin-aspect double bedrooms, a lounge/diner, kitchen with a long lean-to/utility and a recently fitted three-piece shower room. Gardens wrap front, side and rear, with off-road parking and a single garage.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, an average internal size of about 678 sq ft, very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working. The property sits within walking distance of a new supermarket, schools and town amenities, and there is scope to extend or reconfigure subject to planning permission.
Buyers should note a mix of dated and updated elements: certified polystyrene ceilings are present and double glazing was installed before 2002, so some thermal and aesthetic upgrading may be required. Heating details are mixed in the paperwork (boiler and radiators noted, with storage heaters recorded in some rooms), so a buyer survey is recommended to confirm the heating system and energy performance.
This bungalow will suit downsizers or couples seeking single-level living near the coast, or buyers looking for a refurbishment project with development potential. It balances immediate usability — garage, utility space and gardens — with clear opportunities to modernise and add value.
