Set on a generous plot in the village of Old Leake, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-level living with low running costs and no onward chain. The house benefits from recent low-carbon upgrades — solar panels and an air source heat pump (still under warranty) — which help reduce electricity bills and support an EPC rating around B. A wide gravel driveway and garage provide convenient off-street parking, while a large rear garden gives space for pets, growing or simple outdoor relaxation.
Internally the layout is practical: a comfortable lounge, a contemporary kitchen/diner, two main bedrooms and a modern shower room. The property has double glazing, standard ceiling heights and a compact, efficient room count ideal for downsizers or buyers seeking a manageable, single-storey home. The bungalow’s build date (early 1990s) and cavity walls suggest basic thermal performance is reasonable.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: broadband speeds in the area are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. The local area shows signs of higher deprivation and amenities are limited to village facilities (pub, butcher, bar), so those seeking extensive services will need to travel. There is a single shower room only and the property is best suited to couples, small families or those relocating from urban environments.
Overall this is a well-presented, energy-efficient bungalow on a large plot in a quiet village setting. It presents a straightforward purchase for downsizers or anyone wanting low-maintenance, single-storey living with the bonus of modern heating and solar technology already installed.
