Set on a large plot just a minute’s walk from Brightlingsea town centre, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey living with genuine potential. The layout includes a spacious lounge, two double bedrooms, a good-sized kitchen and family bathroom — practical for downsizers or small families who value convenience and easy access to local amenities.
The property is freehold and offered chain free, with a wide gravel driveway, attached garage and a private, mature rear garden. Recent new carpets and flooring freshen the rooms, while gas central heating and double glazing provide everyday comfort. At just over 1,000 sq ft, the bungalow feels larger than many two-bedroom homes.
The main appeal is scope: the footprint and garage offer room to remodel or extend (subject to survey and planning). Buyers seeking a straightforward, single-storey home will appreciate the immediate usability; those looking to add value can benefit from the clear renovation potential.
Buyers should note the property dates from the mid-20th century and, while tidy, will suit someone prepared to undertake updating to modern standards in parts. Any planned extension or major works will need professional surveys and consents. Overall, this is a practical, well-located bungalow with room to personalise and improve.
