The two double bedrooms include a rear room with direct access to the balcony, while a family bathroom completes the accommodation. The listing states that the property has a combination boiler and a modern electrical consumer unit. The rear garden is described as predominantly level, with space for outdoor use and further landscaping. A long driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the garage.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

63out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £239,950, this bungalow is priced 12.3% below the local average per square foot, making it an appealing opportunity to acquire a spacious two-bedroom home at a relative discount. The clean, usable living spaces provide a sound starting point, while the dated kitchen and bathroom offer scope for a light, personalising update.

The southerly garden, balcony with open views, long driveway and garage give the property particular appeal. The price and project scale support its C-grade potential, though the location score is more average than standout.

Key opportunities

  • Update the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes to suit your taste.
  • Enjoy the rear bedroom’s direct access to a spacious balcony with a southerly aspect and open views.
  • Make the most of the maintained garden, long driveway and garage; further landscaping is optional.
