This three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Limes Avenue is a practical, chain-free home for commuters and small families. The layout offers two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a single bathroom — rooms are spacious for the footprint and the 1,027 sq ft internal area feels comfortable on one level.
Practical benefits include a low-maintenance rear garden, off-street parking with garage, double glazing and direct access to Hainault Station for easy journeys into London. Local primary schools are rated Good and everyday shops are close by, which suits families or buyers seeking a convenience-led location.
The property dates from the late 1960s/1970s and is presented in average condition. Expect cosmetic updating and potential energy-efficiency improvements: walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation and the flat/low roofline and some internal fittings likely predate modern standards. There is a single bathroom and modest ceiling heights in places.
Buyers should also note local context: the area shows higher-than-average crime statistics and broader local deprivation indicators. For investors or those willing to refurbish, the bungalow offers solid scope to reconfigure or modernise to add value; for downsizers and first-time buyers it provides easy, single-floor living in a well-connected location.
