This detached one-bedroom bungalow on Dean Road offers straightforward, low-maintenance living across a single level — ideal for downsizers, retirees or first‑time buyers seeking simplicity. A bright lounge/dining area flows to a sunroom that adds useful extra space, while a modern kitchen and shower room reduce immediate renovation needs. The generous bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
Externally the small, paved rear patio is easy to maintain and the single garage with roller door provides secure parking or storage. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and there is no flooding risk. Council tax is very low, which helps keep ongoing costs down in this more deprived local area.
Important purchase details: the property is being sold by auction under the Modern Method of Auction. The buyer must complete within 56 days, view a Buyer Information Pack (£349 inc. VAT) before bidding and pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) on reservation. Additional optional services may incur fees up to £450.
Considerations: the bungalow was constructed circa 1950–1966 and has an EPC rating of D, so further energy improvements or updates may be worthwhile. The small plot and paved front limit outdoor gardening potential, and the local area has indicators of higher deprivation — factors to weigh alongside the property’s low maintenance appeal.
