Two-bed bungalow with garden — refurbishment opportunity, no upward chain..
Chain free detached bungalow on Austin Village Estate
A two-bedroom detached bungalow on Austin Village Estate, offered chain-free and ready for a new owner to modernise. The traditional layout includes a large lounge with gas fire, separate dining room leading from the kitchen, and an extended room suitable for a study or small office. The plot is a standout: a decent rear garden with patio, side access and a shed, useful for outdoor enjoyment or light gardening.
Built in 1917, the property retains period character but requires updating throughout. The timber frame walls are assumed to have no insulation and the home is described as needing renovation; the EPC rating is E. Practical features include mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing (unknown install date), utility space with appliance plumbing and a low council tax band.
Location benefits include easy access to Longbridge and Northfield rail stations, good road links to the M5/M42 and a selection of nearby primary and secondary schools rated good. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local facilities include leisure and library services. Be aware the immediate area has high crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental prospects.
This bungalow suits a buyer seeking single-storey living or a renovation project with potential to add value. It will particularly appeal to downsizers wanting no-step accommodation and a private garden; budget for insulation, cosmetic refurbishment and potential structural or services updates when assessing costs.
