Set on a very large plot in sought-after Thurston, this substantial detached bungalow offers comfortable single-level living with genuine scope to adapt. The property’s strengths are clear: a generous sitting room with fireplace and log burner, a large kitchen/breakfast room, separate dining room, and a principal bedroom with en-suite. Outside there is extensive off-street parking, a double garage with electric door and a large workshop — excellent for hobbies, storage or small-scale projects. There is loft conversion potential (subject to planning) to create extra accommodation.
The interior is spacious but shows its 1970s origins and would benefit from sympathetic updating in places — décor is dated and some buyers will want to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. Heating is provided and the layout includes useful built-in storage; two further bathrooms increase flexibility for family use or guests. Council tax is on the higher side (expensive), which is a practical cost to factor into budgets.
For families the location is a key selling point: well-regarded primary and secondary schools are close by, the village offers a peaceful semi-rural setting with fast broadband and very low flood risk. Buyers seeking immediate move-in condition will value the sizeable, established rear garden and summer house; buyers looking to add value should note the clear scope for a loft conversion and garden landscaping to increase living space and resale potential.
