A rare chain-free, single-storey bungalow in a quiet Romford street, suited to downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home with scope to personalise. The layout is traditional and compact, with two double bedrooms, a lounge with French doors and a separate kitchen. The rear garden and side access give useful outdoor space for pots, storage or a small extension (subject to consent).
The property requires slight modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, new finishes and a likely upgrade to insulation would unlock value and comfort. Built mid-20th century on solid brick walls, the bungalow currently has double glazing installed before 2002 and gas central heating (untested) via boiler and radiators — buyers should commission a survey and service checks before purchase.
Practical positives include off-street parking on a private driveway, decent plot size with front and rear gardens, freehold tenure and no flood risk. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home-working or streaming. This compact home is an economical move for someone wanting single-level living in an established residential area with good local schools and transport links nearby.
Note the property’s small overall internal size (c. 471 sq ft) and generally low ceilings, which will limit large furniture and loft-type conversions. For a buyer seeking a straightforward bungalow to modernise and enjoy without chain delays, this presents clear potential at the listed price point.
