3 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Chain-free three-bed bungalow on a large plot with renovation potential.
Three-bedroom detached dormer bungalow on a large plot
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this three-bedroom detached dormer bungalow sits on a large plot in Birdwell and is offered chain free — a straightforward purchase for families or downsizers. The accommodation is spacious and flexible with a downstairs lounge, dining room, kitchen, ground-floor bedroom and wet room, plus two further bedrooms in the dormer. A recently fitted combination boiler and double glazing throughout provide practical comfort.
The house requires some modernisation, giving a new owner scope to update finishes and reconfigure spaces to personal taste. While dated in parts — notably the living room decor and overall fittings — the solid mid-20th-century brick construction, garage and ample driveway add genuine long-term value. EPC D and council tax band D reflect the current specification.
Location is a clear strength: local shops, regular bus services and good primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, and open countryside is nearby for weekend walks. The property is freehold, has no flooding risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it suitable for modern family life or a renovation project aimed at adding value.
Buyers should factor in the cost and time of updating bathrooms, interiors and any cosmetic work required to bring the bungalow up to contemporary standards. Overall, this property is a practical, well-sited home with renovation potential and immediate occupancy available due to no upward chain.
