Extended three-bed bungalow with garden, driveway and home office — energy upgrades advised.
Extended detached bungalow with three bedrooms
This extended three-bedroom detached bungalow in Midanbury offers practical single-storey living with extra bedroom space on the upper level — ideal for families wanting a roomy lounge/diner and a private rear garden. The open-plan lounge/diner and extended kitchen create a sociable heart to the home, while an adjoining office/outhouse provides useful storage or a work-from-home space.
Externally the plot is small but well laid out: a driveway for two cars, decked seating, artificial lawn, raised beds and two apple trees give a low-maintenance, family-friendly garden. Built between 1930–1949, the property retains mid-century character internally with laminate and wood flooring, while the attic conversion (two bedrooms and a cloakroom/WC upstairs) increases usable space.
Buyers should note practical issues: the property is modest in overall size (793 sq ft), the EPC is grade D, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — further insulation or energy improvements may be needed. The area scores as very deprived, which may affect resale for some purchasers; however local schools are nearby and Southampton city centre is easily reached.
This home suits a family or downsizer wanting a detached bungalow with ready-to-use living space and potential to improve energy efficiency and cosmetic finishes. It’s presented in good decorative order but buyers seeking a fully modernised, high-efficiency house should budget for upgrades.
