Set directly behind Mile Oak Road Park, this mid-20th century three-bedroom Barclay bungalow offers straightforward single-level living with genuine scope to modernise. The layout includes a bay-fronted lounge, three good-sized bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, separate bathroom and a full-width lean-to/conservatory, all within a modest 902 sq ft footprint. The property is freehold and offered chain free, making it attractive for buyers wanting a quicker move or a renovation project.
Outside there is a detached garage, a wide driveway with off-street parking and a decent rear garden accessed via a side drive. Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and excellent mobile signal with fast broadband. The location sits close to local shops, Southwick Square, good bus routes and Southwick railway station; Shoreham Academy and several primary schools are within easy reach.
Key drawbacks are clear: the bungalow needs modernisation throughout and cavity walls are likely uninsulated, so energy efficiency improvements will be required. The internal footprint is modest for a three-bedroom home and there is a single bathroom. The wider area scores as relatively deprived and the local neighbourhood classification suggests some socio-economic challenges, though crime is reported as low. For buyers prepared to invest, there is reasonable potential to extend or upgrade, subject to consents, as neighbouring properties have done.
