This small two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a decent plot within walking distance of Market Harborough town centre, offering straightforward single-storey living with garage and off-street parking. The layout includes an entrance porch, lounge/diner, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and a conservatory that overlooks the rear garden. Chain-free and freehold, the property is ready for immediate occupation by someone seeking low-step living or downsizing into a manageable home.
The bungalow is practical rather than polished: the kitchen dates from the 1970s and will need modernisation, and the overall living area is compact at around 571 sq ft. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, windows are double glazed, and cavity walls are assumed insulated — useful cost-saving features for future running costs. Council tax is described as cheap and broadband and mobile signals are strong, which suits home-working needs.
Good local amenities and transport are a strong draw: Market Harborough’s shops, cafes and rail link to London are a short walk away, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools lie nearby. The property sits on a decent plot with a large rear garden offering scope for landscaping or extension subject to checks. Buyers should note a higher local crime score and the home’s modest footprint when weighing suitability for family use versus downsizing or investment for rental after refurbishment.
