3 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Chain-free bungalow with garden and loft potential near Hengistbury Head.
Chain free freehold bungalow with off-street driveway and attached garage
Three bedrooms plus converted loft used as extra living space (no regs)
Requires updating and some renovation to modern standards throughout
Double glazing (pre-2002) and mains gas central heating already installed
Decent private rear garden backing onto Hengist Park; good privacy
Hengist Park being redeveloped — improved backdrop expected
Council tax band above average; factor in ongoing running costs
Very low local crime in an affluent, retirement-leaning community
This detached three-bedroom bungalow in Hengistbury Head offers immediate possession and straightforward potential for someone looking to downsize or create a bespoke coastal home. The property is set on a decent plot with a private rear garden and driveway parking plus an attached garage. It has been well cared-for but would benefit from updating to modernise finishes and services.
The home already has double glazing and gas central heating and includes an existing loft conversion that has been used as additional living space. The vendor does not hold building regulation approval for that conversion; it may be possible to obtain a regularisation certificate or to further develop the loft into a formal chalet-style layout (subject to planning and building regs).
Practical positives include no onward chain, freehold tenure, off-street parking and a garage, plus a south/south-west facing rear garden that backs onto Hengist Park — currently being redeveloped, which should improve the view and setting. The bungalow is in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood with fast broadband and good access to outstanding and good local schools.
Notable downsides are that the property needs renovation to bring décor and some fittings up to modern standards, the loft conversion lacks documented building regulation approval, and council tax is above average. Prospective buyers should allow budget for updating and for any regularisation or formalisation work if they wish to rely on the loft as habitable accommodation.
