Set on a generous suburban plot in Ripley, this detached two-bedroom bungalow (with a useful loft room) offers a straightforward, single-storey layout and ample outdoor space. The property is freehold and chain free, with a driveway, single garage and good-sized front and rear gardens — practical for parking, storage and simple landscaping projects.
The house requires modernisation throughout, so it will suit buyers seeking a project: updates likely include cosmetic refurbishment, thermal improvements (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) and potential kitchen/bathroom renewal. Double glazing is already installed (pre-2002) and the home is heated by a mains gas boiler and radiators, providing a workable base for further improvements.
This bungalow is appealing for downsizers or buyers wanting a low-stepped property in a quiet suburban setting close to local amenities and good schools. With no upward chain and a decent plot, there’s scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to permissions) to increase usability and value. Viewing is essential to appreciate the footprint and garden proportions.
