Description
This two-bedroom detached bungalow is presented to the market with no upward chain, situated on a generous plot in a desirable residential area of Bilborough. It offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a renovation project. The property requires significant modernisation throughout, allowing for extensive refurbishment, reconfiguration, or potential extensions, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Currently, the accommodation includes a spacious lounge, kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Externally, the property features a driveway for off-road parking, a detached garage, and a substantial rear garden, which presents great potential for landscaping or creating outdoor entertaining spaces. Conveniently located within easy reach of local amenities, schools, transport links, and commuter routes, this bungalow represents a rare chance to acquire a property with considerable potential in a sought-after location. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size of the plot and the exciting opportunities available.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At a £170,000 guide, this detached bungalow is priced at about £193/sq ft against a local average of £267, making the guide price a clear acquisition opportunity. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The 881 sq ft home has a spacious lounge, driveway, detached garage and substantial rear garden, giving a buyer a useful base to reshape and improve; the listing also mentions scope to extend, subject to consents and feasibility.
This is a substantial project rather than a cosmetic update: several rooms show worn flooring, dated finishes and staining or damaged wall and ceiling surfaces, while the kitchen and bathroom are also ready for replacement. The existing renovation range is £42,000–£72,000. The score is a C: the low guide price and sound-looking exterior views are positives, but the indicative purchase-plus-midpoint works figure is close to the implied local average value, so the economics leave limited headroom before fees and other costs.
Key opportunities
- Rework the lounge and two-bedroom bungalow interior, replacing worn finishes and tailoring the layout and decoration to a buyer’s needs.
- Replace the visibly dated kitchen and bathroom as part of a coordinated modernisation.
- Clear and landscape the substantial rear garden, making better use of its paths, greenhouse and outbuilding; the listing also notes possible extension scope subject to consents and feasibility.
Key risks
- Stripped-back finishes across several rooms, a worn kitchen and bathroom, and an overgrown garden make the £42,000–£72,000 works range a substantial budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
