The location benefits from several well-regarded primary and secondary schools rated Good, convenient local amenities and regular bus links. Note the council tax is above average and local crime levels are above average; buyers should factor these into their budgets and due diligence.
Overall, this bungalow is best for a buyer wanting a spacious plot and the freedom to create a much larger, modern family home. Viewings are by prior appointment, and a survey is advised to scope renovation costs and any planning feasibility for extensions.
