This detached true bungalow on Church Road sits on a generous plot with mature front and rear gardens and an attached garage. The single-storey layout and two double bedrooms make it a straightforward, low-maintenance home for downsizers or those seeking ground-floor living. The property is freehold and benefits from cheap council tax, mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile signal.
Inside, the through lounge with dining area and a compact, modern kitchen provide comfortable everyday living. The bathroom is a single, practical wet-room style suite. Original construction dates from the 1950s–1960s, with double glazing fitted before 2002 and low ceiling heights in parts — features that suit a modest, characterful bungalow but may not meet modern open-plan expectations.
Practical positives include private off-street parking for two vehicles, an attached garage with rear garden access and a large rear lawn with mature borders. Notable drawbacks are the above-average local crime rate, dated window glazing and the property's age, which may prompt future maintenance or updating. The location is suburban with nearby schools rated Good and local amenities within walking distance, making this a sensible choice for quieter, ground-floor living close to services.
