This single-storey semi-detached bungalow sits on a generous plot with a c.75ft rear garden and private driveway, ideal for buyers seeking easy ground-floor living. The accommodation includes a 13' lounge, a long 20'8 dining/sitting room, two bedrooms and a compact kitchen — a practical layout for downsizers or investors. Recent updates include a 2023 re-wire, double glazing and gas central heating, making the property largely move-ready from a services perspective.
The house retains mid-20th century character — bay window, brick exterior and straightforward room proportions — but the interior is dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but show mid-century styling; updating them would unlock better comfort and rental or resale value. There are signs in imagery that minor damp or maintenance attention may be needed, so budget for inspection and any remedial work.
With a modest internal footprint (c.665 sq ft) this bungalow is well suited to downsizers who prioritise a low-maintenance single-level home, or investors looking for a solid rental in a very low-crime, affluent suburb with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Freehold tenure, affordable council tax and convenient access to Wickford town centre and mainline station add practical appeal.
