Renovation will be required to modernise finishes and services to contemporary standards; a chartered surveyor is recommended to check details. Purchasers should note the property lies within a Coal Mining Reporting Area — further searches may be needed.
This home will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a spacious single-storey home with garden and garage, who are prepared to invest in modernisation to unlock the bungalow’s full value. Local schools rated Good and fast broadband/multiple transport links add to the practical appeal.
