Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, this two-bedroom bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and personalisation. The property is set on a generous plot with ample driveway parking leading to a garage, making it ideal for those seeking both space and convenience. Inside, the spacious porch welcomes you, providing a useful entrance area that separates the main living spaces. The well-lit hallway grants access to all key rooms, including a dual-aspect living room that offers plenty of space for various furnishings and features an inviting fireplace as a focal point. The kitchen/diner is another generous area, equipped with a selection of wall and base units alongside useful work surface space. It also provides access to a pantry and a practical lean-to, which extends the kitchen's functionality with additional storage and access to both the front and rear of the property. Both bedrooms are comfortable double rooms, while the bathroom includes a double shower cubicle, WC, and wash basin. Outside, the front garden is predominantly laid to gravel with attractive flower beds that enhance its kerb appeal. A large driveway allows for ample off-road parking and leads to the garage. The private rear garden offers seclusion and is designed with a combination of gravel and patio areas, along with a selection of plants and shrubs that add colour and interest. This property is offered with no onward chain, making it an appealing choice for buyers looking to create their dream home.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom detached bungalow is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, offering a spacious layout across 869 sqf, which is a notable feature in this market. With a well-kept front garden and a generous rear garden providing privacy, the property has great potential for someone looking to inject their own style. The living room, with its dual aspect and fireplace, adds to the appeal, and the absence of an onward chain makes for a smoother transaction.

However, the overall condition is dated, with all key areas showing signs of wear and requiring significant modernisation. The asking price of £310,000 translates to £357 per sqf, which is 21.6% above the local average of £293 per sqf, making it a relatively dear option in comparison to the local market. This could deter potential buyers, especially given the renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000. Overall, while the property presents opportunities for improvement, the pricing relative to local values is a concern that buyers should weigh carefully.

Key opportunities

  • Generous plot with ample driveway parking and garage
  • Spacious dual-aspect living room with fireplace as a focal point
  • Private rear garden providing seclusion and outdoor space

Key risks

  • Overall dated condition requiring significant modernisation
  • Older kitchen and bathroom fittings may deter buyers
