A single-storey terraced bungalow on Highfield Court offering straightforward, low-maintenance living. The layout is practical: a welcoming living room with a marble fire surround, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and an easily managed rear garden with patio areas and a raised sun terrace. Heating is gas-fired radiators and double glazing is already installed.
This home will suit someone looking to downsize or move to a single-level property without extensive upkeep. Rooms are well-proportioned for the footprint; the main bedroom is noticeably larger and the internal hallway keeps the flow simple and practical. Broadband speeds are fast and council tax is inexpensive, helping reduce running costs.
Important: the property is leasehold with about 63 years remaining. That level of lease can restrict mortgage options — some lenders may refuse to lend — and extending the lease will be an additional cost and legal process. The wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived with many rented terraces; crime is average. These factors will affect resale and rental appeal.
Overall, this is a tidy, ready-to-use bungalow with genuine downsizing appeal and limited maintenance needs. Buyers should factor in lease extension costs and the local market dynamics before committing.
