The property features stunning stonework at the front and picturesque views of the meticulously maintained gardens. Ideal for families or those looking to downsize, it provides excellent access to major road links, local amenities, and schools. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious entrance area leading to a superb double garage and a conveniently located W.C. The modern fitted kitchen opens up to a central hallway that connects to the rest of the accommodation. The L-shaped lounge/diner serves as the heart of the home, boasting floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows that flood the space with natural light and offer beautiful views of the rear garden. French doors at the front enhance accessibility and light. The bungalow includes four generously sized bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles. One bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, providing ample storage. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation, equipped with a stylish walk-in shower. Externally, the property is accessed through secure gates, ensuring privacy. A substantial block-paved driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to the double garage. The front lawned garden enhances the property's curb appeal, while a patterned block-paved area houses a greenhouse, offering potential for further outdoor use. The rear garden is particularly noteworthy, featuring well-maintained patterned block paving that separates two generous lawn areas, surrounded by mature planting and small trees for added privacy. Facing east, this garden is perfect for enjoying morning sunshine. This remarkable bungalow combines spacious living, stunning gardens, excellent parking options, and an enviable level of privacy, making it a must-see property.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This stunning four-bedroom detached bungalow is located in a desirable cul-de-sac, offering a combination of privacy and space that is hard to find. With its well-maintained interior, spacious living areas, and modern kitchen and bathroom, this home is perfect for families or those looking to downsize. The generous outdoor space, including beautifully landscaped gardens and a substantial block-paved driveway, adds to the appeal.

However, while the property is attractive, the asking price of £425,000 translates to £278/sqf, which is notably above the local average of £193/sqf. This makes it a dear opportunity compared to similar properties in the area. Given the overall condition and excellent features of the home, it does provide a solid foundation for future improvements, but the price may limit immediate value add possibilities. Overall, this bungalow has significant charm and potential, but prospective buyers should carefully consider the pricing dynamics in relation to local market conditions.
