Set on a prominent plot in Shirley, this detached three-bedroom bungalow combines contemporary finish with single-storey convenience. Recently refurbished throughout, the home features a large, bright living room that opens onto a west-facing lawn, a generous fitted kitchen-diner with separate utility, and a modern family bathroom. Neutral decoration and a mix of hardwood flooring and carpets make it move-in ready.
The plot offers practical family parking—a single garage plus a wide driveway for three vehicles—and a sunny garden that catches afternoon light. Local amenities are close by: bus routes (including the SL5), shops on Wickham Road, West Wickham High Street, and fast rail links from East Croydon into London and Gatwick. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, supporting family life.
Notable considerations: the property has one bathroom for three bedrooms and sits in a higher council tax band, which will affect running costs. External walls are original cavity brick with no added insulation assumed, so there may be thermal improvement opportunities. Constructed in the 1950s–1960s, it benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
This chain-free freehold bungalow will suit downsizers seeking single-level living or families wanting a renovated, low-maintenance base with development potential (insulation improvements, interior reconfiguration). The combination of parking, garage and a large west garden gives practical appeal alongside its bright living spaces.
