Description
This three-bedroom detached bungalow is set on a corner plot in a cul-de-sac of seven bungalows. Its accommodation extends to approximately 827 sq. ft. and includes a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and bathroom. French doors from the lounge/diner open towards the garden. The property is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring updating, giving buyers scope to modernise and adapt the interior to their requirements.
Outside, the wraparound garden is accompanied by a garage and driveway parking for at least three vehicles. Halstead is around seven miles north of Braintree and has shops, restaurants, cafes, walks, schools and local health facilities. The particulars advise buyers to check details independently and arrange a full inspection and structural survey.

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This detached bungalow offers a light, manageable modernisation project, with clean, usable interiors and scope to refresh the dated finishes and flooring to suit your taste. The spacious lounge/diner opens towards a maintained wraparound garden, while the corner plot, garage and driveway parking for at least three vehicles give it useful practical appeal.
At £300,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks. That makes the value case less compelling for a project buyer, despite the appealing plot and the potential to personalise the home.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interior finishes and flooring through a light, manageable programme.
- Make the most of the spacious lounge/diner and its French doors opening towards the garden.
- Enjoy the wraparound garden, garage and driveway parking for at least three vehicles.
