This spacious single-storey bungalow offers practical family living on a large plot in LE5. Four double bedrooms, a generous living room with fireplace and an open kitchen-diner create flexible space for everyday life and entertaining. A conservatory overlooks the mature, private garden — ideal for children and pets to play or for garden projects.
Built in the 1930s–40s and set in a semi‑detached form, the house presents genuine potential but also some clear maintenance considerations. The walls are original solid brick with no installed cavity insulation (assumed), so energy efficiency could be improved. Heating runs from a mains‑gas boiler and radiators and the property benefits from double glazing fitted after 2002.
Practical features include an integrated garage, off‑street driveway and freehold tenure. Local amenities, several well‑rated schools and fast broadband make it suitable for family life and remote working. However, the immediate area records above‑average crime and sits within a very deprived neighbourhood classification — buyers should review local conditions and security measures.
Overall this bungalow will suit buyers seeking single‑storey, well‑proportioned accommodation with a large garden and scope to update. It’s a strong choice for families wanting outdoor space and easy access to local schools, provided they budget for thermal upgrades and minor modernisation.
