The interior is bright and tidy, with an open-plan dining kitchen, a spacious lounge, two double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Practical storage includes loft access and wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes in the principal bedroom.
The plot is a standout: remote-controlled gated access, substantial private driveway, double garage with an adjoining workshop and a large powered shed with plumbing.

EPC B and mains gas central heating provide reasonable running efficiency.
Important considerations: the property is small overall (circa 581 sq ft) and sits in an area described as outer-city hardship with higher-than-average local crime indicators. Flood risk for this postcode is assessed as high — purchasers should obtain specialist flood advice and suitable insurance quotes. The house was built in the late 1960s–1970s; while presented well, periodic maintenance and checks on glazing age and services are recommended.
Local amenities are close by, including frequent bus links and fast broadband and mobile signal for home working or streaming. The bungalow is freehold and single-storey, so it will particularly suit downsizers or buyers wanting minimal stairs and generous outbuildings, provided they accept the location’s practical risks.
