This purpose-built detached bungalow sits within an over-55s retirement development and offers practical single-level living for downsizers who want modern, low-maintenance accommodation. Built in 2021/23 as the former show home, it provides a generous open-plan living area, two double bedrooms each with an en-suite, and a small conservatory opening onto a south-facing rear garden.
Comfort and efficiency are strong selling points: a mains gas boiler with wet underfloor heating, upgraded fixtures and fittings, and an average thermal transmittance of 0.22 W/m·K. The property includes allocated off-street parking and communal facilities such as a lounge, hairdresser and fitness area — useful social and convenience benefits for retirement living.
Practical considerations: the home is leasehold (996 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £3,500 and council tax band D. The property footprint is compact for a detached bungalow so external garden space is modest; the front garden is narrow. The immediate area records above-average crime, a factor worth checking in person or with local services.
Overall, this bungalow will suit buyers seeking comfortable, contemporary single-storey living within an organised retirement community. It offers low-maintenance, move-in-ready accommodation with community amenities, but buyers should budget for the service charge and note the modest outdoor space and local crime level.
