Single-storey living with private south garden, garage and close transport links.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a large, south-facing plot
Set on a large plot in desirable Thorpe Bay, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey living tailored to downsizers or retirees seeking comfort and convenience. The interior has been modernised and well maintained, with a good-sized lounge/dining room flowing to a bright orangery that brings light into the rear of the home.
Outside, the unoverlooked south-facing rear garden is a standout asset — private, well established and large enough for patios, planting or accessible garden layouts. A single garage and rear driveway provide secure parking and storage, a practical asset for longer-term owners.
Practical details are strong: double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas boiler with radiators, low local crime and fast broadband/mobile signals. The property is freehold and in a very affluent area close to shops, the mainline railway station and regular buses, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby.
A few points to note: the orangery/conservatory is bright but shows some dated elements and may benefit from updating; the outbuilding/garage area may need repair or refurbishment. The house has a single bathroom and was built in the mid-20th century, so buyers wanting a fully modern specification should allow a small budget for cosmetic updating rather than structural works.
