This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers compact, well-finished living on a single level — an attractive option for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort. The layout feels deceptively spacious for its 624 sq ft, with a generous sitting room opening to a west-facing front garden and a modern kitchen/diner with integrated appliances. Practical touches include double glazing, gas central heating and an efficient shower wet room with underfloor heating and a bidet wash-and-dry toilet.
Externally the property benefits from secure off-street parking behind double gates and a small, easily maintained front garden overlooking a green. Transport links are strong with multiple bus routes nearby and good road access to the A1/A69 for commutes. Local amenities include shops, Blakelaw Park close by and a choice of primary schools, including an Outstanding-rated option, which may appeal to buyers prioritising schools.
Be clear about the downsides: the home sits in an area assessed as very deprived, and the EPC rating is D, so energy efficiency is average. The plot is small and the bungalow dates from the mid-20th century, so buyers should expect traditional construction and the potential need for future updates. Chain-free and freehold, the property is straightforward to purchase and suits those wanting a low-maintenance, single-storey home with good transport links.
Overall this bungalow ticks many boxes for buyers seeking a practical, well-presented starter or retirement home: single-level living, parking, and a ready-to-move-in interior, balanced by location and modest energy performance that buyers should factor into budgets.
