This three-bedroom, single-storey bungalow on Bywood Avenue is offered chain free and sits on a decent plot with private garden, garage and off-street parking for three to four cars. The layout is traditional and practical: a large open-plan reception and dining area with sliding doors to the garden, a separate kitchen plus utility room, and three double bedrooms. At about 967 sq ft the accommodation is average-sized and suits a family seeking one-level living close to transport.
The property dates from the 1930s–1940s and is solid brick construction; double glazing is present but wall insulation is likely absent and the EPC is rated E. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. These factors point to straightforward energy-improvement and retrofit potential (insulation, boiler servicing or upgrade) to reduce running costs and raise the EPC.
Location is a key strength: a popular, residential road with excellent links into the City via tram, rail and buses, and several Good-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Be upfront that the local area has above-average crime statistics and is classed as very deprived; the house requires selective updating rather than a full structural overhaul. For buyers wanting immediate occupancy, chain-free status and ample parking make moving straightforward; for investors or renovators there is clear scope to add value through energy and cosmetic upgrades.
