Summary - 196 Walton Road CO14 8LZ
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Chain-free extended bungalow near beach with large south-east garden and garage.
Three double bedrooms plus separate dining room/bedroom four option
A substantial extended detached bungalow offering flexible single-storey living close to Walton’s seafront and mainline station. The layout includes three good-sized bedrooms with an additional dining room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, a large rear-facing lounge (extended), separate kitchen with utility/garden room, and a single bathroom — all arranged off a wide central hallway. Outside there is a south-east facing rear garden, front driveway, carport and garage. The property is freehold and offered chain-free with keys available to view.
The bungalow was constructed in the mid-20th century and will need wholesale modernisation: cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom renewal, and general redecoration throughout. Positive recent interventions include a replaced consumer unit and added loft insulation, and the home benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. The overall size (about 1,281 sq ft) and single-storey plan make it particularly suitable for downsizers looking to remain independent, or for buyers seeking a refurbishment project with scope to reconfigure or extend (subject to consents).
Practical advantages include good mobile signal and fast broadband, low local crime, and convenient access to local shops (including larger stores nearby), schools and transport links. Note there is only one bathroom, and the property sits in an area classed as ageing urban communities with higher deprivation locally — factors to consider for rental demand or resale strategy. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and potential of the layout.
