Two-bedroom home with garage, driveway and garden — ripe for refurbishment.
Chain-free freehold bungalow in quiet cul-de-sac
Set back in a quiet cul-de-sac in Old Coulsdon, this chain-free two-bedroom chalet bungalow sits on a decent plot with off-street parking and a garage. The large lounge/diner (approx. 23 ft) flows to a conservatory and rear garden, offering straightforward single-storey living with a first-floor bedroom above. Its freehold tenure and no-flood-risk position make it practical and low risk for many buyers.
The property requires modernisation throughout, so it will suit someone looking to refurbish and add value rather than move in immediately. Structural fabric appears sound but the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated and the double-glazing install date is unknown. Heating is gas boiler with radiators; internal fixtures and finishes are dated and will need updating. Broadband speeds are slow — important if you work from home.
Practical positives include a wide driveway for multiple vehicles, a side-access garage, and a modest, easy-care rear garden. Local amenities, several well-regarded schools and green spaces such as Farthing Downs are within easy reach, and Coulsdon South station provides direct services into central London. Council tax sits above average for the area and should be factored into running costs.
In short: a solid mid-20th-century bungalow with good layout and location, offering clear scope for refurbishment and modernisation. It will appeal to downsizers seeking a manageable home to personalise, or investors and DIY buyers targeting uplift through updating.
