Low-maintenance two-bed bungalow with loft room and carport — ideal for downsizers.
Two-bedroom single-storey bungalow with loft room access
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Repton Road offering single-level living with a useful loft room. The layout includes a lounge, kitchen-diner, two ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room, making it a straightforward home for downsizers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance property. The driveway with carport provides off-street parking and secure bin storage; the rear garden is modest and easy to maintain.
Constructed in the mid-20th century, the house has double glazing (installed before 2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The building shows period character but also limitations: cavity walls appear uninsulated, the EPC is D, and parts of the enclosed porch show potential damp. The loft room is accessed by a hidden staircase and provides extra space, although headroom and size are limited.
Location offers practical advantages — fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low flood risk — but the immediate area scores high for crime and falls within a very deprived local context. Tenure is freehold and council tax is low, which will appeal to cost-conscious buyers and some buy-to-let investors looking for yield in a lower-value market. Viewing is recommended to assess the property’s condition and the loft conversion’s usability.
