Set on a generous plot in a quiet Marton street, this detached two-bedroom bungalow suits buyers looking to downsize without losing space. The ground floor offers two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a bright sitting room overlooking the rear garden, and a kitchen-diner with porch and utility WC. A single main bathroom serves the home. The property is freehold and benefits from a driveway and detached single garage.
A fully boarded loft hobbies room with dormer windows and electric adds useful storage and creative potential. Currently ladder-accessed, this space could be upgraded—subject to permissions and works—into a substantial main suite or home office, adding clear resale value. The generous garden and overall plot present scope for landscaping or extension if desired.
Buyers should note a material ground condition: internal borehole tests show elevated sulphate levels in the fill beneath the subfloor slabs, creating a risk of sulphate attack. This is a significant technical issue that will likely require specialist advice and remedial work or design measures for any major groundworks or extensions. The loft also needs proper access and upgrading before use as a full living room or bedroom. Otherwise the property is structurally a mid-20th-century bungalow in a well-maintained condition.
This home appeals to downsizers or couples seeking single-storey living in a very affluent suburb with good broadband and excellent mobile signal. With careful handling of the ground condition and some targeted improvements, the bungalow offers comfortable immediate living and tangible potential to add value over time.
