This fully refurbished two-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey convenience and modern finishes in a quiet cul-de-sac. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area feels bright and practical, and the property comes with a detached garage and private driveway for secure parking and storage. With double glazing, new fittings and mains gas central heating, it’s largely move-in ready.
The home is compact at about 517 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking easy-to-manage accommodation—ideal for downsizers or those wanting ground-floor living without stairs. The front and rear gardens are modest and low-maintenance, useful for light gardening or outdoor seating. Nearby shops, bus links and several well-rated primary schools make day-to-day life straightforward.
Important drawbacks are factual and should be weighed: the plot and overall internal size are small, limiting extension potential; the wider area shows signs of deprivation and recorded high local crime, which may concern some buyers; cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs could be higher than modern standards. The property was built in the late 1960s–1970s, so some structural elements follow that era’s construction standards.
Offered freehold and chain free, this bungalow represents a low-hassle purchase for those prioritising a refurbished, single-level home in a convenient town location. Buyers wanting more space or quieter neighbourhood statistics should view with the area context in mind.
