Two‑bed bungalow with driveway, garden and full renovation potential..
No forward chain — ready for a quick sale
Set on a slightly elevated plot in the village of Istead Rise, this semi‑detached two‑bedroom bungalow offers single‑level living and a sizeable, mature rear garden. The layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance porch, spacious lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, two double bedrooms, bathroom and a separate WC. Off‑street parking for two cars sits to the front behind a paved driveway. The property is freehold and comes with no forward chain, so completion can be straightforward for a buyer ready to act.
This home is a clear renovation project. Fixtures, finishes and décor are dated and the property needs modernisation throughout — an advantage for buyers looking to reconfigure or upgrade to their own specification. Practical positives include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, cavity‑filled walls and an EPC rating of D. The plot is decent for the area, offering privacy from mature planting and space for gardening or extension (subject to consents).
The location will appeal to downsizers and those seeking quieter, small‑town living with good local services. Shops, bus routes and primary schools are within walking distance; stronger secondary school options are available a little further afield. Crime is low, broadband and mobile signals are good, and the property sits in a very affluent, low‑risk flood area — practical considerations that add comfort once refurbished.
Buyers should be realistic about cost and scope: modernisation will be needed to bring the property up to contemporary standards and to unlock full value. For someone seeking a single‑storey home in a sought‑after village setting with parking and a private garden, this bungalow offers a solid canvas and no onward chain to slow a purchase.
