Description

This two-bedroom bungalow located in the popular Garden Close area of Portslade offers a promising canvas for those looking to invest in a renovation project. While it currently requires careful updating throughout, the property presents numerous opportunities to enhance its appeal and functionality. Being sold with no onward chain simplifies the buying process, making it an attractive option for prospective homeowners or investors alike.

One of the key advantages of this location is its proximity to Boundary Road, where you can find a vibrant array of shops, cafés, and essential services just a short stroll away. The transportation links here are excellent, with easy access to Portslade station and regular bus routes facilitating straightforward travel into Brighton, Hove, and surrounding areas. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate Victoria Park nearby, ideal for outdoor activities and relaxation.

As you approach the bungalow, you are greeted by a charming front garden that adds character before entering the property from the side. Inside, a spacious hallway leads to all rooms. The living room is conveniently situated at the front and benefits from ample natural lighting as well as views over the garden. There are two generously sized double bedrooms; one overlooks the front garden while another offers pleasant views of the rear space.

The kitchen at the back is notably large and includes plenty of storage and worktop space with direct access to the lovely west-facing rear garden that bathes in sunlight for much of the day—this outside area holds significant potential for gardenscape redesign or even extension possibilities (subject to local planning permissions).

Additionally, there is a bathroom equipped with a bath/shower combination along with W/C and basin. This bungalow represents an exceptional chance to secure a property in an attractive area ripe for modernisation and value enhancement.
