A two-bedroom true bungalow on Kirkdale Drive offers single-storey living with easy access and low-maintenance gardens front and rear. The property is compact (circa 581 sq ft) but practical, with a bright lounge, breakfast kitchen, conservatory and a detached garage — useful for storage or a workshop. The EPC is C and heating is gas-fired with radiators.
This home suits downsizers or retirees seeking a manageable property in a quiet, well-served suburban pocket of Calder Grove. The tandem driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles, and the enclosed rear garden and conservatory give private outdoor space without heavy upkeep. Local schools, bus links and leisure amenities are close by, and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the property is for sale by auction. Successful bidders pay a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349) and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600). Completion is required within 56 days — mortgage buyers must check lender requirements and timings carefully before bidding.
Practical drawbacks include slow broadband speeds, assumed original cavity wall construction with no added insulation, and mid-20th-century build details that may need updating over time. The overall footprint is small, so space for large furniture is limited. The sale process and additional auction costs are material factors to factor into any offer.
