Low-maintenance home with orangery, garage and loft extension potential.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a generous corner plot
A roomy, detached two-bedroom bungalow set on a generous corner plot in RM16, offered as freehold with an asking range of £500,000–£525,000. The current owners have upgraded many finishes: a bright orangery extends the living/dining space, bay windows with shutters add character, and a stylish wet room provides modern convenience. The garden is landscaped with porcelain paving, artificial lawn, a sunken social area and two summerhouses — ideal for entertaining or low-maintenance outdoor living.
Practical strengths include a large garage with side access, a driveway for several cars (room for up to four), fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime. There is scope to increase living space: a loft extension is possible subject to planning and building regulations, and a skylight and generous dimensions are already noted. Local schools are well rated, and the property sits in an affluent, established suburban area.
Buyers should note the bungalow’s era of construction (circa 1967–1975) and assumed cavity walls without added insulation, which may affect energy efficiency and prompt upgrade costs. Services and appliances have not been tested; an independent survey and service checks are strongly recommended before purchase. Council tax is above average for the area.
This home will suit downsizers or anyone wanting a single-storey, low-maintenance property with entertaining space and clear potential to extend. It combines immediate move-in quality with straightforward opportunities to remodel or enlarge, subject to consent.
