Large, established plot with countryside views and mature planting
Detached studio/annex with kitchenette and WC — flexible use
Conservatory with underfloor heating; large lounge with log burner
Garage plus long driveway providing ample off-street parking
Recently installed oil boiler; heating fuel is oil (on-site tank)

Built before 1900 — character but potential maintenance needs
Slow broadband speeds; may limit heavy home-working or streaming
This spacious two-bedroom bungalow sits on a substantial, well-established plot on Newbridge Road, offering peaceful countryside views and single-storey living ideal for downsizers. The conservatory with underfloor heating and a large lounge with log burner create comfortable, light-filled living spaces that flow easily to the garden and covered entertaining areas. A recently installed oil boiler serves the home, and double glazing was fitted after 2002.
A notable asset is the detached studio/annex with a kitchenette and WC plus an additional workshop and bar area — useful for guests, home office, hobby space or potential rental income. The property includes a long driveway, garage and space for several cars, making parking straightforward for visitors and household vehicles.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the house is of solid brick construction, built before 1900, and walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrades could be needed to improve efficiency. Heating relies on oil (not a communal supply), which can be more expensive and requires on-site storage. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect anyone needing high-capacity home working or streaming.
Overall this property will suit buyers who value generous outdoor space, single-floor convenience and flexible outbuildings, and who are comfortable planning modest energy-efficiency or connectivity improvements. The setting and ancillary accommodation deliver clear lifestyle and functional benefits for retirement living or those seeking a roomy, adaptable bungalow in a quiet edge-of-town location.
