Description
This two-bedroom bungalow has a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room. The listing describes the property as requiring modernisation, with scope to reconsider the kitchen layout. It also notes a generous garden and off-street parking. The property is leasehold, with a stated lease term of 901 years, and is in Council Tax Band B. Local amenities, transport links and schools are described as being within easy reach. Any changes to the layout or garden, including an extension, would need to be assessed for feasibility and permissions.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a usable two-bedroom bungalow with a clear, manageable improvement canvas: refresh the older interior finishes, modernise the compact kitchen, and make better use of the generous rear garden. The lounge and dining room are furnished and usable, while the off-street parking and well-regarded location add appeal. The rear paving, shed and outbuildings would also benefit from attention, and visible staining or spotting in a bedroom should be investigated.
At 51/100, this is a weaker overall opportunity rather than a standout on the available numbers. The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £12,000–£22,000 renovation range gives an indication of the project’s scale.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and refresh the older finishes in the lounge, dining room and bedrooms.
- Improve the generous rear garden by renewing worn paving and addressing the deteriorated shed and outbuildings.
- Build on the usable bungalow layout, off-street parking and convenient location.
