Set on a generous plot at the end of Penny Street, this substantial 4-bedroom detached bungalow offers sweeping views over water meadows towards the River Stour. The property includes a self-contained annexe with two integral garages, its own kitchen, shower room and loft-style bedroom, making it flexible for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or rental income. The whole extends to about 2,300 sqft, with principal rooms facing the rear garden and countryside beyond.
The house requires a degree of modernisation throughout, giving a buyer clear scope to reconfigure living spaces, update services and add value. The construction dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s; walls are cavity-built with no known added insulation and some systems will likely benefit from updating. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home working.
Practical advantages include off-street parking for three cars, two integral garages, separate garden access for the annexe and a quiet cul-de-sac setting on the town fringe. There is no onward chain and the property is freehold, simplifying purchase. Council tax is above average and the location is an ageing rural neighbourhood within a very affluent wider area — attractive for downsizers seeking space, privacy and rural outlook near local amenities.
