A rare four-bedroom detached bungalow located 0.8 miles from Wickford town centre and station, offering straightforward single-level living suitable for downsizers or families seeking one-floor convenience. The property sits on a decent plot with a low-maintenance rear garden and an exceptionally large brick-paved driveway that can accommodate multiple cars.
Internally the layout includes an L-shaped entrance hall, three front-facing bedrooms, an extended dining room to the rear, a cosy lounge and a galley kitchen. A fourth bedroom and a side W/C were formed where the garage once stood, increasing sleeping space but altering the original footprint. The single family bathroom serves all four bedrooms.
Practical considerations: the house dates from the 1950s–60s, has cavity walls assumed uninsulated, LPG-fired boiler and radiators, double glazing of unknown age, and an EPC rating of D. Council tax levels are above average. These factors indicate likely near-term running and improvement costs (insulation, potential heating upgrade) but also offer clear scope to increase comfort and energy efficiency.
This home will suit buyers who prioritise ground-floor living, ample parking and proximity to good schools and transport links. It presents sensible scope for cosmetic updating and energy improvements rather than a full structural refurbishment, making it a realistic purchase for purchasers seeking practicality with future value uplift potential.
