This detached, two-bedroom bungalow sits in the heart of Olveston and offers comfortable, single-floor living with a large private garden and ample driveway parking. Lovingly cared for by one family for many years, the house retains character features such as parquet flooring and a sunroom that overlooks colourful, mature borders. Local amenities — convenience store, post office, pub and Olveston Primary School — are all within easy walking distance.
The accommodation is flexible and practical: two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast space, utility room and a shower room. The garage with electric door adds secure parking and storage. At about 965 sq ft, the layout suits downsizers seeking space on one level or buyers wanting a low-maintenance village base with scope to personalise.
There are some important practical points to note. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation; the EPC is rated E. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Council tax is above average for the area. These factors mean a buyer should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and potential modernisation to achieve lower running costs and tailor the home to contemporary standards.
Overall, this is a rare village bungalow with a generous plot and clear potential: a ready-to-live-in base that also offers room to renovate and add value, especially for buyers looking to downsize without compromising outdoor space or local convenience.
