Set in semi-rural Throop Village, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey living and straightforward accessibility for downsizers or those seeking a low-maintenance home. The property spans about 942 sq ft and includes a large living/dining room, a generous kitchen/breakfast space, three double bedrooms and a quality shower room. A paved driveway provides off-street parking for two cars and a modest, low-maintenance front garden complements the modern exterior.
The home has practical modern comforts: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted after 2002 and good mobile and broadband coverage. It presents sensible layout and scope for cosmetic updating or modest refurbishment to suit personal tastes and improve energy performance — cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) so buyers may want to consider upgrading loft and wall insulation.
Important sale details: the property is being sold at online auction with a starting bid of 285,000. There is no forward chain, but buyers must follow the auction verification process and be aware of sale costs — a 5% non-refundable deposit on exchange plus a reservation fee (up to 6% inc. VAT, minimum 7,200 inc. VAT) will be payable by the successful bidder. Prospective purchasers should review the legal pack before bidding and allow for stamp duty and auction-related fees in their budget.
Overall this bungalow suits someone wanting single-level living in a quiet, semi-rural setting with straightforward parking and good local schools nearby. It will appeal to buyers who prefer a ready-to-occupy home that can be personalised, or investors seeking a manageable rental property, while bearing in mind the auction terms and potential spending to improve thermal efficiency.
