Description
This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a corner position on Fir Tree Way, with a detached garage, side driveway and a west-facing rear garden overlooking Adastra Park. Hassocks village centre, its shops and the mainline station are described as being within a 5–10 minute walk, with local schools and the South Downs also nearby.
The central hallway connects the two front-facing double bedrooms, bathroom, separate kitchen and rear lounge/dining room. The kitchen has shaker-style wall and base units, an integrated oven, microwave and gas hob, with space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. The bathroom includes a P-shaped bath with overhead shower, WC and vanity storage. In the lounge/dining room, a log-burning stove and sliding patio doors provide a connection to the garden.
The garden includes lawn, mature planting and several sheds, while the garage offers storage or workshop space. The listing notes that the corner plot may offer scope for extension or adaptation, subject to the necessary consents. The garage is also suggested as a possible office, gym or studio, subject to suitability and any required approvals.

43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
The standout here is the generous west-facing garden, with mature planting and views across Adastra Park, alongside a detached garage and driveway. The bungalow itself looks clean and usable, with a bright lounge opening onto the garden; the main scope is lighter-touch updating and clearing or tidying parts of the garden and outbuilding areas. The garage and additional land may offer ways to adapt or extend, subject to feasibility and consent.
The value is the sticking point: at £465,000, the asking price is around 20% above the local £/sqf benchmark. Adding the stated £3,300–£9,600 refurb range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of post-renovation value. The garden and setting give the property distinctive appeal, but the numbers make this a low-opportunity buy at the current asking price.
Key opportunities
- Make the most of the west-facing mature garden and park outlook by clearing and refreshing the cluttered areas around the sheds and paving.
- Explore whether the detached garage could suit use as an office, gym or studio, subject to suitability and any approvals.
- Investigate the potential to extend or adapt the additional land, subject to consent and feasibility.
Key risks
- At the asking price, even the stated light refurbishment leaves purchase-plus-works costs stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area.
- Factor in roughly £471,450 including the asking price and quoted works of about £6,450, leaving a gap of around 17% versus area norms for this sqft, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
