This detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a compact, comfortable single-storey home with striking rural views across Brynhill Golf Course and the Vale. At about 731 sq ft on a decent corner plot, the property will suit buyers looking to downsize or retire without sacrificing outdoor space. The garage and off-street parking add practical convenience, while UPVC double glazing and a mains-gas boiler provide everyday efficiency.
The layout is traditional and easy to manage: entrance hall, bay-front living room with patio doors to the garden, a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom with an electric shower. The rear garden benefits from open, rambling outlooks and simple hard landscaping (concrete slabs, gravel and a small pond) requiring minimal upkeep or scope for softening and planting if desired.
Built in the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls that appear uninsulated, the house will repay modest investment in thermal upgrades (wall insulation, loft if present) to reduce running costs. The property is freehold, with no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical positives for modern living. Note the local area registers high deprivation despite very low recorded crime; nearby bus links and walking distance to shops make day-to-day life straightforward.
This is a straightforward, low-maintenance bungalow with clear potential for cosmetic updating and energy improvements. It is offered with no onward chain, making it a convenient purchase for buyers seeking immediate occupation or a simple, long-term home close to open countryside.
