This detached, single-storey bungalow offers practical, comfortable living close to Sutton-on-Sea’s sandy beach. The layout includes a large reception room, kitchen/diner, three bedrooms (one en-suite) and a paved, low-maintenance rear garden with a useful timber shed. A driveway and garage provide secure parking and storage. The property is chain-free and sold freehold, easing a quick move.
The home dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has double glazing (installation date unknown) and electric storage heating. These features keep the building straightforward to run, but storage heaters can be costly compared with modern systems and may suit buyers who accept upgrading in time. The combination of a decent plot, generous reception space and straightforward exterior landscaping offers solid potential for cosmetic renovation or reconfiguration.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk for the area and that the wider neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices; local services are present but the socio-economic profile is mixed. Council Tax band C is described as affordable. This property is well suited to downsizers seeking a single-level home near the seafront, buyers wanting a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave base, or DIY-minded purchasers who want to add value with heating and cosmetic improvements.
Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the bungalow’s proportions, garden and proximity to local amenities and the beach. Important practical checks for prospective buyers include detailed flood-risk and insurance costs, and an assessment of the heating system and glazing ages if long-term running costs are a priority.
