This detached five-bedroom bungalow in central Lawford sits on a large private plot and offers genuinely flexible family accommodation. The ground floor provides three double bedrooms, generous living and dining rooms with sliding doors to the garden, and a practical kitchen/breakfast room. A self-contained first-floor suite with its own kitchen, bathroom and living/bedroom creates scope for multi-generational living or guest income.
Outdoor space is a strong asset: a wrap-around garden, raised deck, private driveway with ample parking and a garage give privacy and usable exterior space for family life or gardening. The location is convenient for local schools rated Good–Outstanding, nearby leisure facilities and transport links, and there is no flood risk.
The house is a product of its era and will suit buyers prepared to update and personalise. Some elements are dated and the fabric shows typical post-war construction with cavity walls (insulation unknown), so further insulation and cosmetic modernisation may be needed. Total internal area is about 1,044 sq ft — modest given the plot — so expect compact rooms compared with larger modern family homes.
Sold freehold and offered with no onward chain, this property will appeal to families wanting central Lawford convenience, multi-generational households, or buyers willing to invest in refurbishment to unlock further value.
