This single-storey, semi‑detached bungalow is designed for easy, low‑maintenance living close to Westwood Cross shopping and local transport.

The property is freehold, chain free and has off‑road parking plus a generous rear garden for outdoor time and light gardening.
A standout financial option is the Home for Life Lifetime Lease: eligible buyers aged 60+ can purchase a lease share (typical saving around 20–50%). A guide Lifetime Lease price of £159,000 is shown here against a full market price of £240,000; actual price depends on age and circumstances. If not eligible or if preferred, the property can be purchased at the full market value.
Important facts and faults are stated plainly. The bungalow is compact (approx. 549 sq ft) with relatively low ceilings, so space feels cozier than a larger home. The local area shows higher deprivation and a very high crime score, which may concern some buyers. The building dates from the mid‑20th century; while the kitchen appears modern and windows are double glazed (unknown install date), buyers should verify the condition of the heating system, electrics and any works required before purchase.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property has no flooding risk and low council tax. Its single‑storey arrangement, parking and nearby amenities make it especially suitable as a retirement home or for anyone wanting one‑level living with easy access to shops and transport.
