The layout is practical: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen with adjacent utility, two bedrooms and a four‑piece bathroom.

The house sits in a well‑established area with easy access to local shops, nearby schools and main road links including the M65. The large rear garden and patio create a private outdoor retreat suitable for gardening, entertaining or simply enjoying quiet outside space. The single‑storey plan makes the property accessible and low‑impact to maintain compared with a multi‑storey home.
Buyers should note material points plainly: heating is by electric storage heaters, the property dates from the mid‑20th century and will benefit from updating in parts, and the local area shows high crime rates and significant deprivation. These factors affect running costs, ongoing comfort and potential resale considerations. The bungalow is freehold and chain free, which helps simplify purchase logistics.
Overall this bungalow will suit downsizers or retirees seeking level living with outdoor space and easy parking. It also offers scope for cosmetic improvement or targeted upgrades to heating and decor to increase comfort and long‑term value. Viewings are recommended to assess how the property's benefits and drawbacks fit your priorities.
