Set on a quiet residential road and offered chain-free, this detached bungalow provides bright single‑storey living with clear scope to personalise. At about 1,192 sq ft, the layout delivers comfortable reception space, a well-proportioned kitchen with adjoining utility, and bedrooms arranged off a central hallway. The rear garden faces south, creating a private, sunlit outdoor area for children and family time. A driveway plus garage give useful off‑street parking.
The property is freehold and sits roughly one mile from Shenfield Mainline Station and the town high street, putting excellent commuter links and local amenities within easy reach. Good primary and secondary schools are walkable, making the home suitable for families wanting convenience and schooling options. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
The bungalow was constructed in the 1950s–60s and currently needs renovation. There is attractive potential to extend to the rear, side and into the loft, subject to planning consent (STPP), allowing significant added space or redesign. Heating is via mains gas warm air; walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, so updating thermal performance should be considered.
Buyers should note a higher-than-average local crime level and that the property requires refurbishment rather than being move-in ready. For an owner-occupier or investor prepared to improve the home, the combination of size, location and extension scope offers clear long‑term upside.
