["Three bedroom detached bungalow, approx. 601 sq ft","Requires full modernisation throughout — refurbishment project","Freehold and chain free — immediate purchase possible","Gas central heating and double glazing present","Private rear garden; small plot size","Potential for off-street parking (subject to permissions)","Located near highly rated schools and good transport links","Area records higher crime; consider security measures"]
A three-bedroom detached bungalow offered chain-free and ready for a full refurbishment. Set in a well-connected BH9 neighbourhood, the property has gas central heating, double glazing and a private rear garden. Its small overall footprint (approx. 601 sq ft) and traditional layout provide a straightforward canvas for remodelling or single-storey extension (subject to planning).
This home suits buyers looking to downsize yet retain separate living spaces, or investors aiming to add value through renovation. Local amenities, frequent bus links and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. There is potential to create off-street parking at the front, subject to permissions.
Notable drawbacks are its current need for complete modernisation and the small plot size; internal space is limited and some original fixtures appear dated. The property lies in an area recorded with higher crime levels, so buyers should factor potential security or neighbourhood costs into their plans.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for working from home. The bungalow’s straightforward single-storey layout and solid external condition make it a realistic project for those prepared to renovate and personalise to contemporary standards.
