Set on a quiet cul-de-sac at the edge of Longhorsley, this detached single-storey bungalow offers easy, low-maintenance living with open views over adjoining paddocks. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a spacious living/dining sequence that opens into a conservatory, and an extended kitchen with attached garage and utility. A lawned rear garden backs onto countryside, giving a private, semi-rural aspect.
The property is chain-free and sold on a long lease (957 years remaining) with a small ground rent of £35. Practical features include off-street parking for two cars and a sizeable single garage with a utility area housing the oil-fired boiler. Council Tax Band D reflects a moderate local charge for running costs.
Buyers should note the heating is oil-fired, which requires regular oil deliveries and can be more expensive than mains gas. Broadband speeds are described as slow in the area; mobile signal is excellent. The bungalow dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while well-proportioned, may benefit from modernisation to meet contemporary tastes. Any purchaser should verify planning/building regulation consents for previous extensions.
This home will suit downsizers or buyers seeking ground-floor convenience and countryside outlooks, or investors seeking a long-lease property in a peaceful village setting. Its combination of single-level living, garage and green views offers straightforward, comfortable accommodation with scope to update over time.
