Description
This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is set on a generous plot and has sea views from the rear. The accommodation includes a hallway, a spacious lounge with a feature fireplace, a kitchen with traditional fitted units and a breakfast table, and a separate dining room formed from a former garage conversion.

Outside, the property has a front lawn with established planting, a driveway for off-road parking and a ramped approach. The rear and side gardens include patio areas and mature greenery, with views towards the coastline. The listing states that the bungalow requires renovation and updating throughout, offering scope to adapt the accommodation and outdoor space.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This two-bedroom bungalow has a clear project canvas: single-storey living, a separate dining room formed from a former garage conversion, driveway parking and sea views over a generous plot. The dated finishes across several rooms, peeling wall finish and overgrown rear and side garden leave scope to reshape the interiors and outdoor space; the comparatively clean, accessible bathroom is a useful feature to retain. The dark staining across parts of the lounge ceiling needs investigating before repairs are planned.
The price is the bigger obstacle. At £196 per sq ft, the £135,000 asking price is above the local £165 benchmark, and adding the £28,000–£48,000 renovation range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area. That comparison is with current local averages, not a forecast of the value after renovation, so the project needs careful numbers as well as a clear vision.
Key opportunities
- Rework the former garage-conversion dining room and kitchen area into a more open kitchen-diner, subject to feasibility and any required approvals.
- Refresh the dated finishes across the bungalow and investigate the lounge ceiling staining before making good.
- Tackle the overgrown rear and side garden, weathered paving and timber structures to make better use of the plot and sea views.
Key risks
- The £28,000–£48,000 works range makes this a substantial budget and programme commitment rather than a quick cosmetic refresh.
- The lounge ceiling staining needs investigation to establish its cause and the necessary repairs.
- At the asking price, purchase plus the stated works range looks stretched against local benchmarks for 689 sq ft, before fees or other buying costs.
- Worth allowing for £173,000 once the asking price and an estimated £38,000 of refurbishment are combined, about 34% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
