This rarely available three-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a large plot in the village of Fir Tree, offering single-storey living with far-reaching rear views across open fields. The layout is generous: a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen with breakfast space, utility room with garage access, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Landscaped gardens, mature trees and a long driveway with turning circle provide privacy and ample parking.
Practical features include a single garage with power and lighting, off-street parking for multiple cars, double glazing and an oil-fired boiler supplying radiators. The plot size and elevated rear aspect create clear potential for garden-focused living, extensions (subject to planning) or sympathetic modernisation to increase energy efficiency and value.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the EPC is grade D and the property is heated by an oil boiler, which may affect running costs and future servicing. The area has historical mining activity—buyers are advised to carry out a mining search during conveyancing. Local indices show higher-than-average crime and general area deprivation, and information on mobile coverage is inconsistent, so confirm service levels locally.
This bungalow will suit buyers seeking a peaceful rural setting with generous outdoor space and single-level living — ideal for downsizers wanting space, families preferring one-floor convenience, or purchasers prepared to update systems for improved energy performance.
