Tucked away in the popular village of Southmoor, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey, low-maintenance living ideal for downsizers or those seeking a compact, well-presented home. An enclosed porch leads into a bright living room with an attractive fireplace and a well-equipped kitchen with a vaulted/sloped ceiling, giving a sense of space despite the modest overall footprint. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and is sold chain-free for a straightforward move.
Both bedrooms are doubles; one features double-glazed doors opening onto the garden and the other has built-in wardrobes. The accommodation is practical rather than generous, with a single bathroom and limited internal storage — it suits a small household, retirement buyer or investor looking for a tidy rental. Room sizes are modest (approx 574 sq ft / 53.3 sq m), so check measurements if you require larger reception or bedroom space.
Outside, the bungalow sits on a larger plot with block-paved hardstanding providing off-street parking for several vehicles and a small, fully enclosed garden with extensive patio and a lawn area. The external space is low-maintenance and private, with scope to add a garden store if wanted. Local amenities, good broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime make this a convenient village base close to schools and services.
Practical points: the EPC rating is D and the build dates to the 1980s, so buyers should consider energy and refurbishment options over time. Overall, this is a tidy, single-storey home offering easy living in a favoured location — attractive to those downsizing, seeking a simple rental opportunity or wanting a manageable village property.
