This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Meriden Close offers comfortable single-level living in a quiet Barkingside cul-de-sac. The layout includes a bay-fronted main bedroom, separate lounge opening to a tiled conservatory, practical kitchen, bathroom and a useful lean-to beside the driveway. The property is presented in tidy decorative order and is immediately habitable for downsizers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance home.
Outdoor space is private and manageable: a rear lawn with mature shrubs, paved patio and shed, plus off-street parking for two vehicles. The plot is a decent suburban size for a bungalow and the location is convenient — local shops and bus routes are within half a mile and Fairlop Central line station is around three quarters of a mile away for fast links into central London.
Significant development potential is a clear value driver. Subject to the usual planning consents, the rear garden and loft provide scope for a rear extension and/or loft conversion to increase living space and future resale value. Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property would benefit from cosmetic updating (kitchen and bathroom), the double glazing predates 2002, and local recorded crime is above average.
Overall this is a well-located, easy-to-manage bungalow with immediate usability and realistic potential to add value via extension or modernisation. It will suit downsizers wanting single-floor convenience, small families seeking compact accommodation, or investors targeting steady rental demand in an affluent borough with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
