This one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Nixons Lane offers a compact, practical home with immediate curb appeal and useful parking for two cars. The ground-floor double bedroom, modern shower room and a bright reception leading to a conservatory suit a downsizer or first-time buyer wanting single-level living with some extra space. The loft conversion provides additional storage or occasional guest space accessible from the dining room.
The former garage is a notable asset: currently storage, it has potential to be reinstated as a garage or adapted into a workshop, subject to permissions. The property is double glazed and heated by a mains gas boiler with radiators, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for working from home.
Be candid about the material points: the property sits in an area with above-average deprivation, and external walls are likely uninsulated stone/brick as-built, so heating costs and improvement work should be considered. The garage/workshop is unfinished and shows damp and low ceilings, requiring repair or renovation if re-used. The plot is small and gardens are low maintenance, so outdoor space is limited.
Overall, this bungalow is suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a manageable, ready-to-live-in home with straightforward improvement potential. The combination of off-street parking, conservatory and loft storage makes it a practical choice in a largely suburban setting close to local amenities and good schools.
