Set well back on a generous plot in Ashingdon, this detached four-bedroom bungalow combines period character with useful modern additions. The single-storey layout and large rear garden make it particularly suitable for buyers seeking low-step living without sacrificing outdoor space. Internally the home offers an open-plan kitchen-family room, a spacious lounge, three bathrooms (including two en-suites) and practical utility space. Outside there’s a triple garage, workshop and a garden cabin that extend useable space for hobbies or entertaining.
The house dates from the 1930s–1940s and retains character in its form, but the timber-frame walls are assumed to lack insulation; energy and comfort improvements are likely needed. The property’s overall internal size is modest at around 754 sq ft, so the accommodation feels compact given four bedrooms. Those looking to modernise will find clear potential to reconfigure or upgrade services, heating and insulation to improve comfort and running costs.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, freehold tenure and a low flood-risk location. The setting benefits from fast broadband, decent local schools and countryside walks nearby, making it appealing to downsizers who want a rural feel with good local amenities. Guide price is £775,000–£825,000.
Important negatives stated plainly: internal floor area is relatively small for four bedrooms; the build suggests timber-frame walls with no known insulation and may require retrofit work; consider potential refurbishment costs. Viewings are recommended for buyers who value single-level living, outdoor space and who are prepared to budget for energy and comfort upgrades.
