This semi-detached, single-story bungalow in The Oaklands offers practical, low-maintenance living with notable potential. The rear faces open countryside, and an expansive loft presents a clear opportunity for conversion to add living space or storage. The layout—two bedrooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast room and a large lounge—suits downsizers, first-time buyers or those seeking single-level homes.
Externally the property benefits from an integral garage, a wide tarmac driveway with off-street parking for multiple vehicles, and a decent rear plot size. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the local area is affluent with good nearby schools, making day-to-day life straightforward.
Buyers should note some material points: the entryway image suggests possible damp that requires inspection and the double glazing install date is unknown. The house was built c.1976–82 so certain elements (kitchen, bathroom, electrics) may need updating. Crime levels in the area are above average — factor this into security considerations.
Overall this bungalow is a practical, well-presented single-storey home with scope to increase value through loft conversion or selective updating. It appeals to someone after low-maintenance living, countryside views and good parking, while accepting some renovation and security considerations.
