Description

This freehold bungalow, positioned in a tranquil setting on a well-regarded residential street, offers an excellent prospect for those looking to capitalize on its renovation potential. With the same family having owned it for over three decades, this property is now available with no onward chain, making it an appealing option for buyers interested in single-level living. The layout encompasses approximately 603 sq. ft., featuring an entrance hall that leads into a generous lounge with a charming fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings. The kitchen is bright and functional, with direct access to the rear garden, providing opportunities for outdoor entertaining or gardening enthusiasts. Two well-sized bedrooms offer pleasant views and ample natural light, while the bathroom is equipped with a classic white suite. The loft space contains a Worcester combi boiler with about five years left on its warranty, adding value to the home. Outside, the rear garden presents a private oasis—mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area ideal for enjoying afternoon sun. The long driveway accommodates off-road parking and extends to a detached single garage. Additionally, the front garden enhances curb appeal and offers potential for further parking adaptations if desired. While neutrally decorated throughout and ready for immediate occupancy, this bungalow presents significant opportunity for personalization or expansion (subject to necessary approvals). Its manageable size and convenient location near Formby village and transport links make it particularly attractive to downsizers or investors looking to enhance value in a desirable area.
