Guide price £450,000–£475,000. Tucked within a gated development on Old Magistrates Court, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-level living ideal for those looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The open-plan kitchen/lounge is bright and airy, with French doors to the private rear garden that make entertaining and relaxed living straightforward. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite, while two further rooms provide flexibility for guests or a home office.
Well maintained throughout, the home sits on a decent plot with driveway parking and a low-maintenance, enclosed garden. The property is freehold, has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and sits close to Witham town centre, shops, schools and rail links — convenient for everyday needs and occasional travel. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk for the site.
A few practical points to note: the bungalow is modest in overall size (approximately 814 sq ft) and has standard/low ceiling heights typical of single-storey homes; internal space is efficient but not expansive. The local area is classified as communal retirement with many highly qualified residents, yet reported local crime levels are very high, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision. Maltings Academy’s Ofsted rating is “Requires improvement”, though several nearby primary schools are rated Good.
This home will suit buyers seeking a secure, low-maintenance single-storey property in a convenient location — particularly downsizers or those wanting low-upkeep living close to amenities. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and gated setting.
