This true two-bedroom single-storey home sits on a popular over-55s development, offering easy, low-effort living close to local shops, bus routes and the Royal Oldham Hospital. The layout is straightforward — porch, living room, modern kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and a shower room — making the bungalow immediately usable for downsizers.
At 437 sq ft the accommodation is compact and simple to maintain. Communal gardens and an allocated parking space reduce outdoor upkeep, while double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C provide reasonable energy performance. The property is freehold but a service charge of £1,396.17pa covers communal maintenance.
Practical buyers should note the small overall plot and very small private garden with an outbuilding; outdoor space is limited. The home is mid-terrace and modestly sized, so it best suits purchasers seeking affordable, single-level living rather than generous rooms or large gardens. Council Tax band B keeps running costs relatively low.
In short, this bungalow is a straightforward, well-located option for an over-55 buyer wanting manageable, single-storey accommodation with easy access to transport and local amenities. Buyers seeking larger internal space or a substantial private garden should consider viewing with those priorities in mind.
