This detached, single-level bungalow on Braemar Croft offers comfortable, practical living for families or downsizers seeking a quiet village setting. The three double bedrooms, built-in wardrobes and a cosy reception room with a fireplace deliver immediate liveability, while double glazing and gas central heating provide year-round comfort. A detached single garage, private driveway and a decent enclosed rear garden add useful outdoor and parking space.
The layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance utility, spacious kitchen/diner, bright lounge, three doubles and a single family bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. At about 984 sq ft the home is an average-sized bungalow with sensible room proportions, suitable for single-floor living or later-stage downsizing.
The property is well placed for local amenities and good nearby schools, including a rated Good primary. Broadband speeds are fast and there is no flood risk. It is freehold and in council tax band D, making ownership straightforward.
Notable drawbacks: the home dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and shows mid‑century finishes that will suit some buyers but will require updating for others. There are signs this is a practical fixer-upper — some external paving is uneven and the bathroom uses an electric shower over the bath. The wider area has higher deprivation indices and average crime levels, which buyers should consider alongside the village’s appeal.
