This three-bedroom, single-storey bungalow offers straightforward, level living with a private front and rear garden — a practical option for buyers seeking to downsize without sacrificing space. The property is offered chain free on a freehold title, giving purchasers immediate control and flexibility. At approximately 1,062 sq ft the layout is traditional and roomy, with potential to reconfigure or extend subject to planning permission.
The house requires full modernisation throughout: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, fixtures are worn, and general decorative and mechanical upgrading will be needed. Buyers should plan a renovation budget and expect to carry out works to bring the home up to contemporary standards. The building appears structurally typical for a mid-century bungalow but will need updating rather than cosmetic tweaks.
Location provides a rural, hamlet-style setting with countryside nearby while Chingford High Road and the Overground are a 10–15 minute drive away for commuter access. Local amenities are limited and the wider area is classified as deprived; crime levels are reported as high, which may affect perceived safety and resale considerations. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is average.
This property suits motivated downsizers or buyers seeking a renovation project with future value uplift through extension or refurbishment. The single-bathroom layout and local area factors mean it will appeal most to those prioritising space, single-level living and project potential over immediate turnkey condition.
