Description

This two-bedroom detached bungalow is set in a cul-de-sac and is offered with no onward chain. Its accommodation includes a glazed entrance porch, hall, living room with an open fireplace, kitchen with a further fireplace, bathroom and two double bedrooms with full-height cupboards. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are stated. The listing describes a large loft extending across the house, with six Velux windows, and potential to extend into the loft or to the side and rear, subject to planning permission. The front and rear gardens have a gravel-based, low-maintenance design, with palm trees, a greenhouse, and brick and timber stores. A driveway provides off-street parking and turning space, with wide access to the side and rear. The rear boundary adjoins Old Foss Beck and open meadowland. The property is around three miles from York city centre, with retail facilities and York Community Stadium described as nearby. The A64 provides access towards the motorway network, the Wolds and the east coast. The existing layout and stated scope for extension offer options to investigate, subject to planning and building feasibility.

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached bungalow has a usable starting point and a distinctive setting, with a generous driveway, gravelled gardens, a greenhouse and meadow views beyond the rear stream. The interiors are clean but dated, so this is a light-refresh project: there is scope to update finishes and flooring while retaining the existing layout. The loft has roof windows and floorboards, but remains unfinished; any conversion or extension potential would need feasibility and permissions checked.

At £300,000, the asking price is about £392/sqf, around 10.5% above the local average, so price is not a strength. All-in costs look tight against local benchmarks, which tempers the appeal despite the manageable-looking refresh and useful outdoor space.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes and flooring while keeping the clean, usable main rooms.
  • Make use of the extensive driveway and turning area, plus the greenhouse, garden stores and established garden features.
  • Explore the unfinished loft or side and rear extension potential, subject to feasibility and permissions.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf average, while purchase and works costs look tight against local benchmarks.
