Quiet, single-storey living on a large corner plot: this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers practical, low-maintenance accommodation with genuine potential. Set on Shakespeare Avenue, the freehold property combines a generous outside space with off-street parking and a single garage — useful for storage, hobbies or secure parking.
Inside, an L-shaped 23ft lounge/diner and a fitted kitchen provide the main living areas, while a four-piece bathroom serves three bedrooms. The bungalow is mid-20th century in style with lower-than-average ceilings and relatively small rooms, so it will suit buyers who prioritise single-floor convenience over expansive interiors. Council tax band C and good local schools add everyday practicality.
The house is best suited to buyers willing to modernise. Cosmetic and layout updates would unlock more comfortable proportions and contemporary finishes; the property is not presented as a turnkey, high-spec home. Note the wider area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are above average — these are important considerations for long-term value and living comfort.
For downsizers or those seeking a renovation project with a substantial garden and solid footprint, this bungalow delivers scope and location benefits — fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities including shops, healthcare and schools. Viewings recommended to assess potential and determine the level of updating required.
