Description

This two-bedroom detached bungalow is set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to local bus routes and essential amenities. The location is particularly appealing for those who value accessibility to shops and services, making it a suitable option for various buyers. Upon entering, you’re greeted by an enclosed porch that leads into a central hallway, providing a transition into the rest of the home. The living and dining area is expansive, extending the full length of the property. Generous windows on both ends allow natural light to fill the space, creating an open and inviting atmosphere ideal for daily living or entertaining. A conservatory adjoins the living area, serving as a pleasant nook for enjoying afternoon sunlight or unwinding with a good book while overlooking the garden. While the interior does show signs of needing updates, this presents a valuable opportunity for renovation. Potential buyers can envision personalizing the space to their taste, enhancing both comfort and functionality. The bungalow features two well-sized bedrooms that receive ample light and a main shower room. Outside, the rear garden benefits from a sunny aspect, complete with a patio area perfect for outdoor gatherings during warmer months. A detached garage provides secure parking or extra storage options, with convenient driveway access from the back of the property. Given its tranquil setting combined with practical layout and significant renovation potential, this bungalow is deserving of consideration from those looking to invest in real estate or create their ideal living space. A viewing is encouraged to fully appreciate its possibilities.
