Set on a larger-than-average plot on Southend Road, this extended two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers single-storey living with genuine scope to modernise and personalise. The home sits on an approximate 70' southerly garden, has an in/out driveway for multiple cars and provides generous room proportions including a 26'8 lounge and 19'10 kitchen/diner. Offered chain free and freehold, it’s well suited to couples, small families or downsizers seeking a spacious, adaptable property in a comfortable suburb.
Internally the layout is straightforward and roomy: two double bedrooms (one with front bay), a large lounge, a long kitchen/breakfast room, utility and an unusually long bathroom. The rear extension and French doors give the property a strong connection to the garden and a covered front patio adds extra sheltered outdoor space. At about 1,044 sq ft, the bungalow provides comfortable single-level living with easy access to local schools, buses and nearby amenities.
Practical points to note: the bungalow requires modernisation throughout. The electrics, heating system and boiler have not been tested and the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated as built. These are material considerations for buyers planning immediate occupation — but they also present scope to add value through renovation, insulation and system upgrades. The property’s generous plot and layout make it a good candidate for extension or reconfiguration subject to planning.
In summary, this chain-free bungalow is an appealing blank canvas in a peaceful, affluent suburb. It delivers substantial outdoor space, off-street parking and roomy living areas — best for buyers ready to invest in updating to unlock its full potential.
