This compact two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers an affordable route onto the property ladder through a 50% shared ownership arrangement. Set on a small plot with off-street parking and low-maintenance gardens, the single-storey layout suits buyers wanting ground-floor living or to avoid stairs. The property is chain free and may offer the option to buy additional shares (staircasing) later.
Inside, an open-plan lounge/kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom occupy about 593 sq ft. The home is modern in appearance with neutral décor and standard ceiling heights. Practical features include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and fast broadband availability, making it ready for everyday needs.
Buyers should note important limitations: the property is leasehold and sold as shared ownership (50%), so purchase and future costs are governed by the lease and any shared-ownership terms. The dwelling is small in overall size and will suit those prioritising affordability over space. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime, which may concern some purchasers.
For first-time buyers seeking an economical, single-level home with straightforward maintenance and good transport links (near A38/M1 and local bus routes), this bungalow is a practical entry point. Check the lease terms, shared-ownership conditions, and any staircasing costs before proceeding.
