Description
This three-bedroom detached bungalow in Swinton is offered with no onward chain. Its single-level accommodation includes an entrance hall with storage and loft access, a lounge with a bay window, a separate extended dining room opening to the rear garden, and a fitted kitchen. There are two double bedrooms, a further single bedroom and a bathroom with a bath and shower over.
The property has a full-length boarded loft with lighting, which the listing identifies as having potential for upward extension subject to planning permission. Outside, the plot includes lawned areas to the front and rear, a path and patio, and rear access to off-street parking and a detached double garage with electric doors, power and lighting. The accommodation is described as comfortable but in need of modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update it. Local shops, schools, amenities and transport links are noted nearby.

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £270,000–£280,000, this detached bungalow offers a light modernisation project in a sought-after Swinton position. The lounge and separate dining area are spacious, the kitchen and bathroom appear usable, and the established gardens, detached double garage and boarded, lit full-length loft give it plenty of practical appeal. The finishes are dated, so there is scope to refresh the décor and flooring and personalise the existing rooms without the photos suggesting a major overhaul. The loft may offer further potential subject to planning permission.
The score is a weaker overall opportunity, with value versus local £/sqf not yet judgeable because floor area is missing. The house still has a useful combination of single-level accommodation, outdoor space and garage provision, but the value case cannot be confirmed from the available area data.
Key opportunities
- Refresh dated wallpaper, carpets and decorative finishes to give the spacious lounge and separate dining area a more current feel.
- Personalise the intact kitchen and bathroom through a cosmetic update rather than assuming a full replacement is needed.
- Make the most of the established lawned gardens and substantial double garage; the full-length boarded, lit loft also offers potential subject to planning permission.
