Cul-de-sac bungalow with garage, garden and refurbishment potential.
Detached 3‑bed dormer bungalow on a decent plot
Set at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, this three-bedroom detached dormer bungalow offers straightforward family living on a decent plot. The ground floor provides a long, light lounge, modernised kitchen with breakfast bar, one ground-floor bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms off a spacious landing and a shower room — flexible for family or down‑sizers wanting some separation of space.
Outside the plot is a clear asset: driveway parking, a detached garage and a lawned rear garden with established borders provide privacy and usable outdoor space. The house is double‑glazed (install date unknown), heated by a mains‑gas boiler and radiators, and sold freehold with low council tax — practical running costs for a family home.
Strengths include the cul‑de‑sac position, easy pedestrian access to The Kingway and nearby shops, bus services and good primary schools. The property suits buyers seeking a mid‑century home with scope to personalise and improve rather than a fully modernised turnkey dwelling.
Material drawbacks are straightforward: the house needs general modernisation in places and will suit buyers prepared to update cosmetic finishes. Local crime is above average, and a nearby secondary school has an inadequate Ofsted rating — factors to weigh for families. Overall this is a solid mid‑20th‑century detached bungalow with garden, garage and scope to increase value through targeted refurbishment.
