Quiet, single‑storey living in a purpose‑built over‑55s development, 23 Brackenhurst is a compact two‑bed bungalow suited to downsizers seeking low‑maintenance accommodation. The bright living room faces well‑kept communal gardens, and a conservatory/sunroom adds flexible space without extra garden upkeep. Off‑street communal parking and a resident alarm call system provide convenience and reassurance.
The interior requires modernisation: the kitchen and bathroom are dated and electrics/heating rely on night‑storage and electric systems. EPC rating D reflects the existing specification and means some energy improvements could be beneficial. The property is offered chain‑free on a lease with about 87 years remaining — important to consider for mortgage and resale planning.
For buyers wanting a manageable retirement base or a low‑upkeep rental, the bungalow’s compact footprint and communal grounds reduce maintenance time and cost. Full fibre broadband and excellent mobile signal suit those who value connectivity. Budget for cosmetic and energy‑efficiency upgrades to unlock the property’s best value.
Practical factors: tenure is leasehold with communal maintenance obligations; the dwelling is small (558 sq ft) and has single‑level accommodation, so it won’t suit buyers needing large private outdoor space or planning substantial extensions. Overall, this is a straightforward, peaceful home with clear potential for anyone prepared to modernise to current standards.
