This detached 1970s bungalow on Westmead Drive is a spacious single-storey home on a very large plot, well suited to downsizers or anyone seeking level living with expansion potential. The house offers good natural light, an L-shaped living/dining room with French doors onto a private patio, and a practical kitchen with solid wood cupboards and a breakfast bar. Garage and driveway parking for multiple cars add everyday convenience.
The property has sound structural “good bones” but requires renovation and modernisation throughout; cosmetic updates and systems checks will be needed to bring the home up to contemporary standards. Heating is provided by an air source heat pump with radiators and electricity is the main fuel; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The EPC is D.
Practical positives include a single garage with power and rear garden access, plentiful loft and built-in storage, and easy access to Newbury town centre, train station, supermarkets and several well-regarded schools. There is potential to extend subject to planning permissions, making this attractive for buyers wanting to add value.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the home needs renovation and updating, there is only one full bathroom (plus a separate WC), council tax sits above average (Band E) and recorded local crime levels are high. Buyers should budget for refurbishment and factor in local safety considerations when viewing.
