The accommodation includes a dual-aspect kitchen with fitted units and integrated appliances, a separate utility room, and a sitting and dining room with a stone fireplace and wood-burning stove.

There are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a bay window and a second bedroom with an en-suite wet room. A family bathroom, fitted around 2019, has a bath, separate walk-in shower and vanity storage. The entrance hall provides access to a substantial loft void, which may offer scope for additional accommodation subject to planning permission and building regulations. The listing also notes possible side or rear extension options, subject to the necessary consents.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £545,000, this detached bungalow is priced at £328/sq ft, 13.5% below the local average—a strong starting point for a buyer looking to add value. It appears well maintained overall, with a light, mainly cosmetic refresh in the dated finishes rather than an obvious major repair project.

The generous garden and terrace, driveway and detached double garage add practical appeal, while the stone fireplace and stove give the sitting/dining room character. The substantial loft void and described scope for extensions could offer longer-term possibilities, subject to the necessary consents.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated wall colours and finishes to give the usable interiors a more contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the generous garden, paved terrace, extensive driveway and detached double garage.
  • Explore the substantial loft void and described side or rear extension possibilities, subject to planning permission and building regulations.
