Set on a popular Harold Gardens street, this semi-detached single-storey home offers straightforward, single-level living with scope to personalise. The property is chain-free and freehold, with off-street parking and a decent rear garden — practical assets for downsizers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance plot close to amenities.
Internally the bungalow provides two bedrooms, a reception room, a kitchen and a four-piece bathroom across approximately 627 sq ft. The layout is traditional and well-proportioned, but the accommodation requires modernisation throughout, giving the next owner a clear opportunity to update fixtures, finishes and services to current tastes and standards. EPC rating D.
Location is a key strength: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby bus routes, and Wickford railway station within easy reach for commuters. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools sit close by, and local shops and leisure facilities are nearby. Note the local area records above-average crime levels, which should be considered alongside the property’s merits.
Perfect for someone looking to downsize into a single-storey home or an owner-occupier investor planning a sympathetic refurbishment, this bungalow combines solid mid-20th-century construction with obvious potential. Essential modernisation work and cosmetic updating are required to maximise value and comfort.
