Set on a private road in Kenley, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a substantial single-storey footprint and a large plot ready for modernisation and extension. The L-shaped reception room provides versatile living and dining space with generous natural light and a pleasant green outlook from all aspects. The standalone kitchen and single bathroom mean immediate reconfiguration or enlargement is straightforward for a buyer wanting to personalise the layout.
The mature, mostly lawned garden with patio provides a peaceful outdoor room and scope for landscaping or rear extensions (subject to planning). Practical features include off-street parking and a garage, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and chain-free vacant possession so a buyer can move quickly. The property dates from the 1930s–1940s and retains mid-century character elements throughout.
Important matters to note: the bungalow requires modernisation throughout and the solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so works may be needed to improve thermal performance and energy costs (current EPC D). There is one bathroom only and the standard internal finishes will need updating. Council tax is described as expensive, which will affect ongoing running costs.
Location-wise, the house is well placed for schools, local amenities and transport links. Nearby schooling includes a mix of Ofsted ratings, from Outstanding primary and secondary options to at least one school requiring improvement — useful for buyers to check suitability. Low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband add to day-to-day convenience on this large, private plot.
