Detached 2‑bed bungalow set in approx. 0.5 acre mature gardens
Set in around half an acre of mature, wildlife-rich gardens, this detached mid‑20th century bungalow is a rare rural retreat with practical off‑grid features. The living room centres on a wood‑burning stove which feeds the hot water system; double glazing and a new certified bio‑disc septic tank have been installed. A concrete‑lined well with pump and multiple outbuildings add functional value for gardening, storage or small‑scale rural projects. There is potential to buy a further 2.75 acres of adjoining smallholding by separate negotiation.
The home is light and comfortable with an open‑plan layout: lounge, kitchen/diner, two bedrooms, bathroom with separate bath and shower, utility and covered porch. Off‑street parking is provided via a gated driveway with space for several cars. Broadband speeds are reported fast and local crime levels are very low — useful practical benefits for anyone planning to spend extended time here.
Important considerations: the house is of Woolaway precast reinforced concrete (PRC) construction, commonly requiring specialist surveys and, for some lenders, a cash purchase or further works to secure mortgage finance. The external walls are assumed to have no built‑in insulation, so upgrading may be needed for long‑term thermal efficiency. The property is in a high flood‑risk area, and that will affect insurance costs and future mitigation planning.
This home will suit buyers seeking a private, nature‑focused lifestyle close to coast and town — walkers, gardeners, hobby smallholders or downsizers who value tranquillity and space. It also offers opportunity for refurbishment or conversion to traditional construction for buyers prepared to invest. No onward chain and a flexible land purchase option make this a straightforward acquisition for the right buyer.
