Detached mid-century bungalow on a generous plot
A detached three-room bungalow on a generous plot in BH12, this mid-century home offers straightforward potential for someone happy to modernise. The property has two double bedrooms plus a smaller third room or study, an extended lounge and a south-westerly garden that catches afternoon sun. A garage and paved driveway provide convenient parking.
The house is chain free and freehold, making it suitable for buyers wanting a quick move or a simple project. The layout is traditional single-storey living — good for downsizers or buyers seeking no stairs — but the interior requires renovation throughout. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the cavity walls currently have no added insulation, so improvement work will be needed to bring running costs and comfort up to modern standards.
Located in an affluent, low-crime area with good local schools and fast broadband, the bungalow sits close to everyday amenities including shops, cafés and public transport. The property’s modest 746 sq ft size suits buyers looking to downsize or first-time purchasers who want scope to add value. Note: the build dates from the 1950s–1960s and double glazing is present though install date is unknown.
This home is best for someone seeking a project with clear upsides — single-level living, private garden, garage and parking — and prepared to invest in upgrading heating, insulation and cosmetic finishes to unlock full potential.
