A well-presented two-bedroom bungalow on Highfield Road offering single-storey living and easy outdoor space — attractive for buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort. The home benefits from a long lease (998 years), low council tax and very low local crime, making it practical and economical to run. The layout is traditional with a partially converted loft that adds flexible space for a home office or hobby room.
Outside, a generous garden and a separate garden room/games room provide private leisure space, while the wide driveway accommodates up to three cars for convenient off-street parking. The interior features wooden flooring and a modern fitted kitchen; large windows bring good natural light into the main rooms. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is leasehold (nominal ground rent £5) and the external walls are cavity as built with no added insulation assumed, so upgrading insulation could be needed to improve energy efficiency. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and the house dates from 1967–75, so some updating may be required. There is a single bathroom and the total internal size is modest at about 622 sq ft.
Positioned in a residential area of Farnworth with several good-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, this bungalow suits those seeking a low-maintenance single-storey home with outdoor space and parking. It is offered with no onward chain, allowing a straightforward move for buyers prepared to carry out any desired energy- or aesthetic-improving works.
