Description
A detached two-bedroom bungalow on a generous corner plot, offered with no forward chain and requiring complete modernisation. The accommodation is arranged around an entrance hall and includes two bedrooms, a separate lounge, a kitchen-diner and a utility room. The property is freehold and has mains services, with off-road driveway parking at the front.
The rear garden provides space for landscaping, while the corner position may offer scope to explore extending the accommodation, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents. Buyers should verify the condition of the property, fixtures and fittings, and all particulars before proceeding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This detached bungalow on a generous corner plot has the makings of a substantial project: the listing calls for complete modernisation, while the photos show overgrown front and rear gardens and weathered exterior finishes. The separate lounge, kitchen-diner and utility room offer a useful starting layout, with scope to reshape the home and create a more usable garden; any extension potential would need to be checked for feasibility and permissions.
At £220,000, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The score is held back by limited condition and economics evidence, and the apparent roof-edge irregularities warrant inspection. The interiors are not shown, so the full scope of the work remains uncertain.
Key opportunities
- Rework the separate lounge, kitchen-diner and utility-room layout to suit a modern home.
- Clear and redesign the generous front and rear gardens, making better use of the corner plot and driveway.
- The listing mentions possible extension scope; investigate feasibility and permissions before relying on it.
Key risks
- Complete modernisation is described, but interiors are not pictured; plan for a substantial whole-home programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Some roof-edge details look uneven or displaced in the side view and need closer inspection to establish their condition.
