UPVC double glazing and gas central heating throughout

Quietly tucked a short walk from Canvey Island town centre and Jones’s Corner, this detached three-bedroom bungalow suits buyers looking to downsize without compromising on space. The layout is single-storey and well kept, with a bright front lounge, a surprisingly roomy modern kitchen, and a useful utility room. UPVC double glazing and gas central heating keep running costs straightforward.
The accommodation is genuinely deceptive for its footprint: three double-size bedrooms (the master is L-shaped and very generous) give flexibility—use two as bedrooms and the third as a dining room or home office. A low-maintenance rear garden with artificial lawn and off-street parking to the front deliver easy, low-upkeep living. Council Tax Band B and very low local crime add to the practical appeal.
Buyers should note the property sits on a small plot and provides a single bathroom, which may be limiting for some households. The bungalow dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while presented in good order, offers scope for cosmetic updating or reconfiguration to better suit long-term needs. The rear garden backs onto neighbouring bungalows, so privacy is good but views are limited.
Overall this is a well-located, low-maintenance home that will suit retirees, downsizers or small families wanting convenient access to local shops, schools and services. The layout’s flexibility means you can move in and personalise over time rather than needing immediate works.
