A two-bedroom detached bungalow offered chain-free and vacant, set on a generous plot in a quiet Ripley street. The house retains mid-20th century character, with a traditional layout, double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators. Outside there is a block-paved driveway, detached garage and a large rear garden with sheds, greenhouse and multiple patio areas.
The interior requires modernization throughout: dated 1980s-style kitchen, an older shower room and general cosmetic updating. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), and the property is being sold as needing renovation, so buyers should factor upgrade costs for energy performance and modern living standards.
This bungalow will suit downsizers or buyers seeking single-storey living with off-road parking and gardening space, plus investors or renovators aiming for value uplift. Local amenities include good primary and secondary schools, shops and regular bus services; the area is described as affluent with fast broadband and average crime levels.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, affordable council tax banding, no flooding risk and vacant possession for a quick move. Important checks before purchase: services, electrical wiring, any required structural/insulation improvements and planning potential for alterations or extensions.
