Set on a large corner plot in the heart of Bamford, this true three-bedroom detached bungalow offers comfortable single-storey living with clear potential to extend. The property includes a spacious lounge with conservatory, separate dining room, and a functional kitchen that would reward a sympathetic modernization. Mature, landscaped gardens wrap the home, creating private outdoor space for relaxation and gardening.
Practical strengths include a large double garage, generous off-street parking and chain-free ownership for a straightforward purchase. The roofline and internal layout present a realistic opportunity for a loft conversion (subject to planning permission) to add bedrooms or a master suite, increasing living space and future value.
Buyers should note this is an older mid-20th century home that would benefit from updating in parts — the kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, and some internal finishes reflect the original era. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. Council tax is high, which will affect ongoing running costs.
This bungalow suits downsizers seeking single-level comfort with scope to personalise, or families/investors looking for a property with extension potential in a quiet, affluent suburb with excellent schools and very low local crime. It’s a practical canvas for renovation rather than a fully modern turnkey home.
