Description

This well-kept two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers significant renovation potential on an appealing plot within a desirable residential neighborhood. Ideally located near a variety of local amenities such as supermarkets, shops, and dining options, the property also benefits from convenient access to leisure and medical facilities. While many of these conveniences are within walking distance, the presence of a reliable bus route makes for easy travel to further afield areas. The property includes the possibility for extension and a garage that could be converted to increase usable space. Although it has been well-maintained—with cavity wall insulation added around 15 years ago and a new boiler installed in 2021—there remains ample opportunity for modernisation which could add considerable value. Accessed via a covered side entrance, the bungalow opens into an entrance hall leading to all main rooms. The 'L'-shaped lounge diner is spacious and bright, featuring two large front windows that invite natural light in. A central fireplace serves as an inviting focal point in this versatile living area. The kitchen has been slightly enlarged by moving an internal wall, allowing for fitted units and essential appliances including space for a cooker, fridge, and plumbing for a washing machine. Both bedrooms offer views of the rear garden, with the principal bedroom boasting built-in wardrobes, while the second bedroom also includes additional storage space. The shared bathroom features standard fittings including a bath with shower over. To enhance curb appeal, the front of the bungalow includes off-road parking alongside access to the garage with power and lighting. The private rear garden is enclosed by timber fencing and features both a paved patio and lawn with planted borders, along with dedicated areas for vegetable gardening and a greenhouse. Overall, this charming bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to invest in or create their dream home through renovation.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £210,000, this bungalow is priced below the local average at £259 per sq ft versus £287, making it an attractive opportunity to acquire. The interior is usable but dated across several rooms, so a light modernisation—such as refreshing décor and flooring, with the option to update the kitchen and bathroom—could give it a more contemporary feel. The spacious L-shaped lounge-diner, established garden, driveway and garage add useful appeal.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated décor and flooring to give the usable interior a more current look.
  • The established rear garden offers lawn, patio, planted borders and growing areas.
  • Driveway and garage provide practical parking and storage, with the listing also noting possible extension or garage-conversion scope subject to feasibility and permissions.
