Set well back from Welham Road, this double‑fronted three‑bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous, mature plot and delivers comfortable single‑level living. The bright bay‑front lounge with a log burner, refitted shaker‑style dining kitchen, pantry, separate utility and cloakroom provide practical daily living space. Double glazing, a mains gas boiler with radiators and a full alarm system (including the garage) are useful modern conveniences.
The plot is a major feature: deep front lawn, wide driveway parking for several cars and a detached single garage, with a substantial rear garden that includes greenhouse, summer house, vegetable plot and timber store. The property’s position on a service road screens it from traffic and places countryside lanes and the Chesterfield Canal nearby, while the town centre and direct rail service to London Kings Cross (approx. 1hr 30mins) are a short drive away.
Rooms are well proportioned and practical rather than extravagant — three bedrooms (the smallest suited to a study or hobby room) and a single, luxuriously refitted bathroom. Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the bungalow presents character features such as leaded glazing and retains a solid mid‑century brick construction with filled cavity walls. Its layout is especially suitable for downsizers, small families or buyers seeking one‑level accommodation with garden space.
Notable considerations: the property sits in an area with relatively high deprivation statistics and broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may affect home working. The house likely requires only light cosmetic updating rather than structural works, but buyers should commission their own surveys and checks on services and appliances. There is a single main bathroom only and the plot, while generous, may require ongoing maintenance.
