About
This is a rare chance to purchase a link detached true bungalow in a highly sought-after and well-established residential area.
The current owner has lived here since it was built and has lovingly maintained the property over the years.
While a little dated, the bungalow is offered at a realistic asking price, presenting the perfect opportunity for a buyer to add modern touches to their own taste.
The accommodation comprises a hallway with storage, a spacious lounge with a feature fireplace, a fitted dining kitchen, and a main bedroom complete with fitted furniture, an en suite shower room, and double doors opening into a bright conservatory overlooking the large, privately enclosed rear garden.
There is a second bedroom with fitted furniture and a three-piece bathroom.
Further benefits include PVC double-glazed windows, gas central heating, a small front garden, and a driveway leading to the attached garage, which offers practical access to the rear garden.
Bungalows in this area are rarely available, so early viewing is strongly recommended.

TENURE We are advised by the vendor that the property was Leasehold £80 p.a. The family thinks they may have purchased the Leasehold.
