A compact 1950s semi‑detached bungalow offering single‑storey living on a long, private plot just north of Newbury town centre. The layout includes an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom; gas central heating with a recently fitted combi boiler and UPVC double glazing are already in place. The standout external benefit is the deep rear garden (approx. 90' reported) with lawn and fruit trees, plus a long front lawn and gated side access.
The property requires renovation throughout — internal finishes are dated and the house would benefit from updating to modern standards, including likely insulation upgrades (walls assumed to be uninsulated cavity). There is no clear off‑street parking shown and the footprint is compact at about 410 sq ft, so this is best suited to a single occupant, couple or someone seeking a downsizing / refurbishment project.
Location is practical: quiet close within walking distance of local bus routes, with easy road access to the A34 and M4. Local schools include several well‑rated primaries and secondaries nearby, and the area has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the local crime level is above average — a material point to consider for buyers prioritising security.
Offered freehold and chain free, the bungalow presents a clear opportunity to create a comfortable, low‑maintenance home or a modest investment after modernisation. Buyers should budget for renovation works and possible energy‑efficiency improvements if they want to bring the property up to contemporary living standards.
