Set on a large plot in sought-after Thorpe Bay, this newly renovated three-bedroom detached bungalow combines 1930s character with contemporary fittings. The heart of the home is a striking open-plan kitchen/family room with quartz worktops, a central island and a sky lantern — a bright, social space for family life and entertaining. Adjoining is a vaulted-ceiling lounge with chandelier lighting and bi-fold doors that open onto landscaped decking.
The principal suite is generous and finished to a high standard, featuring a four-piece bathroom; two further double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the accommodation. Practical additions include a dedicated utility room with external access, a garage and gated block-paved driveway providing secure off-street parking.
Location is a clear strength: within walking distance of Broadway shops and C2C train links, and inside the Bournes Green School catchment — a strong draw for families. The area is very affluent with low crime and fast broadband, making the home suitable for modern family routines and commuting.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The property is constructed of solid brick (1930s era) which is assumed to lack cavity insulation, so buyers may wish to review thermal upgrades. Council Tax is Band E, above average for the area. While the house is newly renovated, its age means ongoing maintenance and periodic investment should be expected over time.
