2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Spacious single‑storey home on a large private plot with outbuildings and panoramic valley views.
Large private plot with extensive decking and valley views|Detached 2-bedroom bungalow, single-storey living|Several outbuildings including games room and small annexe|Original sandstone/limestone walls, no known insulation (assumed)|Double glazing installed pre-2002; may be dated|Mains gas boiler and radiators; EPC rating C|Broadband slow; mobile signal excellent|Area very deprived with high local crime statistics
A detached two-bedroom bungalow set on a large private plot with sweeping valley views. The home offers bright living space, a formal dining room off the kitchen, and two generous double bedrooms. Several useful outbuildings include a large games room with its own courtyard and a small annexe with two single beds and conservatory — handy for guests or hobby use.
The property is characterful and solidly built (c.1900–1929) with mains gas central heating and double glazing already fitted (installed before 2002). The large decking/viewing area and woodland-like garden make this an appealing option for someone seeking outdoor privacy and countryside-style outlooks while remaining near a city/major town.
Notable practical points: the walls are original sandstone/limestone with no known insulation (assumed), broadband speeds are slow, and the glazing and some services may be dated. The property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime statistics, and tenure is not specified — both factors buyers should check early. The bungalow will suit buyers wanting a peaceful, spacious single-storey home who are prepared to carry out targeted improvements (insulation, modern broadband, minor updates) to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.
This is a strong proposition for a retiree or downsizer who values outdoor space, privacy, and flexible outbuildings. Investors or first-time buyers should factor in local social and infrastructural challenges and the potential need for refurbishment or insulation works.
