Summary - The Bungalow, School Street, Easington SR8 3PR
3 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Extensively renovated large bungalow with garage and loft potential, sold at auction.
Large 1,668 sq ft single-storey bungalow, three double bedrooms
A substantial three-double-bedroom bungalow of around 1,668 sq ft, recently subject to extensive renovation and offered chain-free via online auction. Major structural and safety work is complete: renewed pitched and flat roofs, full electrical rewiring, full gas service, mould treatment with a 10-year certificate, replaced windows and new heating/radiators. The property includes a double garage, private rear yard and loft space with a new skylight and ladder, offering obvious scope for further development or conversion (subject to consents).
This building is well positioned for rental or resale after completion of the remaining finishing works. Interiors feature a large open-plan lounge/diner, contemporary Kitchen Plus fittings, a four-piece main bathroom and a new en-suite to the master. Practical updates include new guttering, fascia, external lighting, security features and renewed original flooring — much of the heavy lifting is already done.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, which will influence rental demand and resale pricing. It will be sold at auction, which can limit inspection timelines and introduces buy-side costs and auction conditions. Some finishing works remain outstanding, so a purchaser should allow budget and time to complete cosmetic items and snagging.
For investors comfortable working in higher-need neighbourhoods, this freehold bungalow presents a clear value opportunity: large floor area, modern services, garage and loft development potential, plus quick possession via auction. Viewings and a careful survey are recommended to confirm outstanding works and to cost any further improvements.
