A chain-free, semi‑detached retirement bungalow in a quiet cul‑de‑sac, offering two bedrooms, an en‑suite to the master and a family bathroom. The open-plan living/dining area opens into a useful conservatory, with a private paved garden and off‑street parking for one car. The property is warden‑assisted with an emergency intercom and panic‑button system, providing extra reassurance for older residents.
The bungalow is freehold and modestly appointed, built in the 1980s and presented in sound, standard condition. It sits on a small plot and offers scope for light modernisation or potential loft conversion subject to planning, which could increase space and value. Broadband options include copper and full fibre; mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the current EPC rating is E, so running costs may be higher than modern gas systems. There is no annual external maintenance charge, but on resale a levy applies: 2% of the final sale price multiplied by years of occupancy. Residency is age-restricted (within 12 months of state pension age; partner within five years).
This bungalow will suit downsizers seeking a low‑maintenance, single‑storey home with on‑site support and good local amenities. Buyers should budget for energy improvements or refurbishments to bring the property up to contemporary standards and factor the resale levy into long‑term plans.
