A roomy two-bedroom bungalow offering single-floor living and generous proportions (approximately 1,345 sq ft) in a popular Thurmaston location. The main house includes a large lounge that opens to a conservatory, a kitchen-breakfast room and a modern shower room — practical spaces for comfortable, low-maintenance living. Solar panels and an Energy Rating B help reduce running costs.
The detached garage has been converted to provide a self-contained space with an electric door, fitted bathroom and kitchenette/utility area, suitable for guests, a home office or independent living for relatives. There is abundant off-street parking to the front and side and a large rear garden, giving scope for accessible outdoor space or further reconfiguration if required.
The property is solid-brick construction from the 1950s–1960s; some elements may benefit from updating (for example wall insulation is not present). Double glazing is in place but install dates are unknown. Freehold tenure, very low local crime and fast broadband make this a sensible choice for downsizers seeking convenience and connectivity, close to schools, shops and Watermead Country Park.
Note: while well-presented, the house’s older build and assumed lack of cavity insulation mean buyers should factor in potential insulation or modernisation work. The garage conversion is a significant asset but any future changes should be checked against planning and building regulations.
