Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The accommodation includes an entrance porch, a central hallway with airing cupboard and loft access, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom and a dual-aspect living and dining room. The living space has distinct seating and dining areas and opens to the rear garden through patio doors. The listing notes that the bungalow has previously been extended. The kitchen has fitted eye- and base-level units, laminate worktops, tiled splashbacks and space for a washing machine and fridge-freezer, alongside an integrated oven and grill, gas hob and extractor. The bathroom has a corner bath with an overhead shower. The property is described as needing modernisation, offering scope to update the existing accommodation. Outside, the enclosed south-east-facing rear garden measures approximately 50 feet and includes a patio, lawn, raised beds, mature planting and two storage sheds. At the front, a driveway provides parking for three cars, with a gated car port for an additional vehicle. Marketed by Mansell McTaggart in Hassocks.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom bungalow offers a straightforward light-refresh project, with dated finishes and worn carpets providing scope to modernise the living spaces while keeping the work largely cosmetic. The dual-aspect living/dining room, established south-east-facing garden and generous parking—including a gated car port—are useful features to build on.

The asking price is the bigger obstacle: at £559 per sq ft, it is above the local average of £486. Once the purchase price and a mid-to-substantial works programme are considered together, costs look stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of renovated value.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen, bathroom finishes and worn carpets to give the interior a more current feel.
  • Make the most of the dual-aspect living/dining room and its glazed access to the garden.
  • The established garden, driveway and gated car port offer appealing outdoor space and practical parking.

Key risks

  • The asking price combined with the anticipated programme of improvements leaves the overall spend stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this size.
  • The all-in picture is soft when the asking price sits alongside the indicated works scale — around 15% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
