A striking, self-built timber-framed bungalow completed in 2022, this 1,485 sq ft single-storey home combines high-spec finishes with adaptable living for family life. The bright, open dining area links directly to a large composite deck and landscaped garden, while a generous lounge with feature fireplace provides a comfortable evening retreat. The fitted breakfast kitchen, three well-proportioned bedrooms and two modern shower rooms deliver a ready-to-move-in layout with low maintenance throughout.
Outside, the large plot offers extensive off-street parking, an EV charging point, detached studio/office and extra storage — useful for home working, hobbies or guest use. The original 1917 air raid shelter is a unique historic feature in the garden. Timber-framed construction gives good thermal performance and contemporary build quality, reflecting the property's efficient, durable design.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and local crime statistics are high. The surrounding area is relatively deprived and a nearby primary school has an Ofsted rating of "Requires improvement," factors to weigh for families or those who need reliable internet. The property is freehold and largely move-in ready, yet potential buyers wanting faster digital connectivity or different local schools should factor these limitations into their decision.
Overall, this is a spacious, modern bungalow for buyers seeking single-level living, strong energy performance and generous outdoor space. It will particularly appeal to families or anyone prioritising accessibility, flexible working space and low-maintenance, contemporary finishes — provided the local broadband and area considerations are acceptable.
