Set on a substantial private plot in sought-after Bamford, this detached three-bedroom true bungalow offers rare single-storey living with considerable scope. The property’s footprint is unusually large (approx. 2,278 sq ft) and includes three reception rooms, a detached garage, ample driveway parking and mature, secluded gardens — an appealing canvas for a buyer wanting space and privacy.
The bungalow requires renovation throughout, so it will particularly suit purchasers looking to refurbish and reconfigure to modern standards. Key structural or safety issues are not highlighted in the listing, but cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom replacement and general modernisation will be necessary to realise the property’s potential. The long lease (over 800 years) and chain-free sale reduce purchase complexity.
Location strengths include convenient access to local amenities, bus links and the M62 commuter routes, plus several nearby schools. The surrounding area is classified as communal retirement and faces notable socioeconomic challenges; council tax is described as expensive. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent, and local crime levels are very low, which supports a quiet residential setting.
This is a rare opportunity for downsizers who want a single-storey home with garden and garage, families seeking one-level living with room to adapt, or investors prepared to undertake a full refurbishment. Early viewing is recommended to assess layout and scope for remodelling on this large plot.
