Quiet, single-storey living in Romford with immediate move-in potential — this chain-free semi-detached bungalow suits someone looking to downsize or simplify. The layout is traditional and straightforward: two double bedrooms, a lounge with French doors, fitted kitchen and family bathroom, all arranged off a central hall. A decent rear garden and private driveway with side access add outdoor space and practical parking.
The bungalow was built mid-20th century and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating (untested). Rooms are compact with lower ceilings typical of the era; the overall footprint is small at about 471 sq ft. The property needs slight modernisation rather than a full renovation, so cosmetic upgrading will add immediate value.
This home sits in a residential area close to shops, regular bus routes and good primary and secondary schools, making everyday life easy. There is no flooding risk and the plot feels generous for the property size, offering scope to reconfigure or extend subject to planning. Buyers should note services and heating have not been tested and walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation.
A sensible purchase for downsizers or buyers seeking a modest project in an affluent, well-connected neighbourhood. Because the home is chain free and freehold, a quick transaction is possible for anyone prepared to do light modernisation works.
