Description
This four-bedroom detached bungalow in Livermead has a single-storey layout, a substantial corner plot and driveway parking. The accommodation is arranged around a reception hallway and includes a large lounge and dining area extending across the rear, with windows on more than one side and sliding doors opening to the garden. A separate kitchen offers scope for updating to a buyer's requirements.
There are four bedrooms, several with built-in storage. The fourth bedroom occupies the former garage and has an en-suite shower room, while a main bathroom with a bath and separate shower serves the other bedrooms. The property is described as requiring modernisation, providing an opportunity to update the existing accommodation and finishes.
The gardens wrap around the bungalow and include lawns, mature planting, paved areas and a glazed garden structure. A block-paved driveway provides off-road parking. The plot and existing layout offer a starting point for a refurbishment project, with any changes or development subject to the necessary checks and permissions.

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
The strongest project assets are the detached bungalow’s four-bedroom layout, spacious lounge/dining room with sliding doors to the garden, driveway and substantial wraparound corner plot in Livermead. The interiors look usable but dated, so there is scope for a cosmetic refresh and for buyers to choose their own finishes; the established garden also offers room to improve without starting from scratch.
At £350,000, the asking price is about 11% above the local £/sqf benchmark, so price is a limitation rather than a bargain. The overall opportunity is therefore modest, and purchase plus the £5,000–£15,000 renovation range looks tight against local benchmarks; the generous layout and plot are the main reasons it may still appeal to a project buyer.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interior finishes, including the kitchen’s older-style cabinets and tiles, while retaining usable fittings where appropriate.
- Make the most of the spacious lounge/dining room and its sliding doors to the garden.
- Clear and maintain the established wraparound garden, with its mature planting, paths and paved areas.
