Set on a large, well-manicured plot, this extended detached bungalow offers flexible living across the main house, a self-contained one‑bed annexe and a bespoke timber studio. The main home provides three double bedrooms, a 2025 refitted bathroom and generous sitting room and kitchen/breakfast space; the annexe adds a 19' open-plan living area, double bedroom and four‑piece bathroom — useful for multi‑generational living, rental income or a home office. A recently renewed studio roof (2025) and integrated EV charger add contemporary convenience.
The rear garden is large, attractively landscaped and private, with a timber lodge at the bottom that includes insulation, modern electrics and a shower room — adaptable as a workspace, gym or entertaining room. The front offers a wide shingle driveway with space for multiple vehicles and straightforward off‑street parking. The property is freehold and totals approximately 1,779 sq ft, giving substantial internal space for a bungalow.
Practical considerations: the house dates from the 1930s–1940s, has cavity walls likely without added insulation, and double glazing with unknown install date. The neighbourhood has higher crime levels and significant local deprivation indicators; buyers should weigh these local factors and check insurance, security and community services. Some cosmetic updating and targeted insulation or energy upgrades could improve comfort and running costs.
This home suits buyers seeking a large single‑storey residence with separate annexe potential — families wanting flexible accommodation or investors seeking an income stream. The combination of plot size, detached layout and adaptable outbuilding delivers tangible scope for personalisation and additional uses, while recent bathroom and studio roof works reduce immediate major expense.
