Quiet, practical and chain-free, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Brooksbank Road is a straightforward purchase for buyers seeking a low-maintenance home or a downsizing move. The layout is traditional and roomy for its size, with two double bedrooms, a generous living room and a compact kitchen and shower room. A recently serviced boiler reduces immediate heating concerns.
Externally the property benefits from a sizeable driveway and single garage plus an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden and a small elevated front garden. Located close to local shops, bus links and pleasant walks, the bungalow sits in an established suburb with mostly mid-20th-century homes and several well-rated primary schools nearby.
The house does require some modernisation — the interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating throughout. The property is offered as freehold and chain free which simplifies purchase, but buyers should factor renovation costs into their budget. The plot is modest and the area reports above-average crime, so prospective purchasers should consider security and outdoor space limits.
This home suits someone looking for a practical, single-storey property to personalise — ideal for downsizers or buyers seeking a work-on opportunity with straightforward access to local amenities and transport links. Internal inspection is recommended to assess scope of updating and potential to improve value.
