This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Wayside Drive offers easy single-storey living in a popular Thurmaston neighbourhood. The compact layout (approximately 549 sq ft) includes a bright lounge, fitted kitchen, conservatory and one bathroom — well suited to downsizers seeking low-maintenance accommodation or buyers wanting a manageable home to adapt.
Outside there is private off-street parking, a detached garage and a decent rear garden that extend practical storage and outdoor space. The property is freehold, has double glazing (installed post-2002) and an EPC of 70 (Band C), indicating reasonable energy performance for its age.
Important practical points: the bungalow dates from the mid-20th century (1950–1966) and the walls are cavity-built with no insulation assumed, so further measures could improve thermal comfort and running costs. Interior fittings and decor are dated in places and will benefit from updating to suit modern tastes. Local crime levels are above average for the area — a factor to consider alongside the neighbourhood’s otherwise strong amenities.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-situated bungalow with clear potential for modest refurbishment to add value and comfort. It will appeal most to downsizers or buyers seeking single-floor living close to schools, shops and transport links, who are comfortable with some updating and proactive energy improvements.
