This chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers a straightforward, single-storey living layout on a decent plot in BR5 (approx. 646 sqft). The spacious lounge, mid‑century features and large front window let in good natural light, while the layout is practical for downsizers or buyers seeking a low-rise home.
The property is offered freehold with off-street parking and clear potential to extend (subject to planning permission), so there is scope to create extra living space or update to an open-plan arrangement. The bungalow’s construction dates from the 1950s–1960s, which gives it character but also means some systems and finishes are dated.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: heating is by electric storage heaters (likely higher running costs), glazing install dates are unknown, and the front garden and exterior need maintenance. There are signs in the listing images of possible damp and general wear that will require investigation and repair. The surrounding area is described as deprived with a very high local crime rate—important considerations for families or buyers prioritising neighbourhood safety.
For a buyer prepared to refurbish, this bungalow represents good potential — chain‑free possession speeds up a move, and extension possibilities (STPP) could significantly increase living space and value. It will suit downsizers wanting single-level living, an investor comfortable with a renovation project, or a buyer seeking a blank canvas close to transport links and local amenities.
