Description

This 2-bedroom detached bungalow, situated in the sought-after area of Marlborough Avenue, presents a viable opportunity for renovation and investment. The property is conveniently located near the Metrocentre, providing excellent transport links and access to local amenities. Currently in need of modernisation, it allows prospective buyers to imprint their personal style and preferences onto the home. The spacious living room flows into a dining area, while a sizeable kitchen leads to a large lean-to conservatory, offering potential for enhancements or extension. Two well-proportioned bedrooms await your creative touch, and one includes built-in storage. The family bathroom comprises a bath, W/C, wash hand basin, and separate shower—ideal for reconfiguration if desired. A secure rear garden enhances outdoor space options, and the property benefits from off-street parking along with a garage. Gas central heating is available through a gas boiler, complemented by partial double glazing. With probate pending until January 2026 and being chain-free, this property provides a unique chance for savvy buyers looking to invest in an area that appeals to families or those seeking tranquility without sacrificing connectivity.
