This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits on a prominent corner plot in Walkerville, offering single-storey living with a generous garden, driveway and garage. The layout suits downsizers seeking ground-floor convenience and outside space without stairs. Interiors include a modern kitchen with good natural light and an adaptable reception room for relaxed living.
Important: the property is leasehold with only 30 years remaining. Most mortgage lenders refuse to lend on short leases, so buyers will likely need cash funds or to arrange a specific lender; purchasing the freehold or extending the lease will be essential for long-term security.
Practical local advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities — shops, GP surgery, sports centre and schools. The area is classed as a comfortable neighbourhood popular with older workers and retirees, but note recorded crime is above average; consider visiting at different times to assess the local environment.
Overall this bungalow offers immediate, low-step living and a large outdoor plot that’s rare for this price band, but the short lease is a material drawback that affects mortgageability and future value. Buyers should obtain specialist legal and mortgage advice before proceeding.
