Spacious single‑level living on a large, riverside plot — ideal for retirees or downsizers.
Detached bungalow on a large riverside plot with private gardens
This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Riverside Road offers comfortable, single-level living on a large plot close to Tean village amenities. Set slightly elevated and backing onto a river and recreation ground, the property provides a peaceful, semi-rural feel while remaining within easy walking distance of local shops, primary schools and public transport. The layout suits downsizers, retirees and small families who value ground-floor convenience and outdoor space.
Internally the home retains traditional features — a bay-windowed lounge with a fireplace, woodblock flooring and a separate dining area with characterful brickwork. The fitted kitchen and practical shower room serve everyday needs, and three generous bedrooms provide flexibility for a home office or guest room. Recent double glazing (installed post-2002) and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators add comfort and energy efficiency compared with wholly original windows.
Externally the property’s strengths are pronounced: a block-paved driveway, attached single garage with power and light, manicured tiered front garden, and a good-sized rear garden with borders, vegetable patch, greenhouse and two sheds. The large plot and riverside setting are notable for gardening enthusiasts and for those who prize outdoor privacy.
Buyers should be aware this is an early 20th-century solid-brick property (circa 1900–1929) and external walls are assumed uninsulated — further insulation works may be required to improve thermal performance. There is a single shower room only, and some internal areas are likely to benefit from modern updating to suit contemporary tastes. The property falls in a medium flood-risk area due to the nearby river; prospective purchasers should check flood-cover insurance and take specialist advice. Broadband speeds are average for the area.
