This extended three-bedroom semi-detached dormer bungalow offers comfortable, adaptable accommodation across an elevated footprint of about 1,122 sq ft. The ground floor includes a lounge and dining area, a generous extended kitchen/breakfast room, a spacious double bedroom and a fully tiled bathroom. Two further first-floor bedrooms — one with an en suite cloaks/wc — suit visiting family, hobbies or home working.
Outside there is a decent plot with low-maintenance front and rear gardens, a long driveway for several cars and a larger-than-average 20’ x 10’ garage with power, light and plumbing. The property benefits from gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and comes to market with no onward chain, making it straightforward to progress.
Practical considerations: the house was built in the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. Council Tax sits at Band E, and the wider neighbourhood has higher crime and acute area deprivation, which will affect long-term resale and local services. Fixtures, fittings and services should be independently checked and legal title verified.
For downsizers, retired buyers or families wanting a ready-to-live-in home with scope to modernise, the bungalow’s layout and garage provide clear value. It’s a solid mid-century property that rewards sensible updating and insulation work to improve comfort and running costs.
