This delightful detached bungalow presents an incredible chance for anyone looking to design their ideal retirement property. Situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac within a semi-rural area, this property offers a spacious and versatile layout that makes it a wonderful choice for customization and personalization. It provides well-planned accommodation that includes a generously sized living room, a well-proportioned kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC, a practical rear sun/utility room, and a loft room for extra storage or use. Additionally, the property boasts a low-maintenance rear garden, front parking facilities, and a garage, making it both functional and convenient. Buyers will appreciate the blank canvas this property provides, allowing them to apply their personal style and preferences to truly make it their own. Furthermore, its availability without an onward chain makes it a highly attractive option for a smooth and speedy purchase process.
The front of the property is approached through an entrance door, which opens into a small yet practical porch. From here, you are immediately welcomed into a spacious and inviting hallway, which serves as the central hub of the home, connecting you to all main rooms and providing access to the loft room via a sturdy pull-down ladder. The living room, serving as the main reception area, boasts an impressive sense of space and light, thanks to its dual aspect windows at the front and side elevations, which allow plenty of natural daylight into the room and enhance the welcoming ambiance. This area is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen, located adjacent to the living area, is fitted out with a selection of both wall-mounted and base units, offering ample storage and practical work surfaces. It also includes a modern inset sink with a drainer and swan neck mixer tap, positioned beneath a side-facing window that is complemented by a tiled splashback. Other notable features of the kitchen are a gas hob, an electric oven, and dedicated spaces for an under-counter fridge and freezer, while a wall-mounted combination boiler provides added convenience. A rear-facing window and door lead out from the kitchen to the sun/utility room, which provides a versatile, bright, and functional space. This room overlooks the rear garden and has direct access to it, making it ideal for additional household tasks and storage, with plumbing installed to accommodate a washing machine.
The two bedrooms on offer are both generously sized and have been designed to provide comfort and practicality. The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and takes full advantage of the light provided by a front-facing window. The second bedroom is at the rear, with views over the garden, making it a charming and private space. The property’s bathroom is fitted with a shower cubicle and a wash hand basin and features partly tiled walls that create a clean and practical finish. A rear-facing privacy window provides natural light and ventilation for added comfort. Adjacent to the bathroom, the separate WC is equipped with a toilet and also benefits from a rear-facing window that brings in natural light.
Accessed from the hallway via a sturdy pull-down ladder, the loft room has been plastered and carpeted, creating a useful space that can serve either for storage or as a hobby room, complete with a side-facing window that allows natural light.
Externally, the property includes a lawned front garden, creating an appealing first impression, alongside a driveway that offers practical off-road parking. The driveway leads to a side garage, adding further parking and storage space. At the rear of the bungalow, the enclosed garden has been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance. Gravelled throughout, it eliminates the need for extensive upkeep while still providing an inviting outdoor area for relaxation or entertaining. The rear garden is also bordered by fencing, offering privacy and security, and includes a useful brick outbuilding ideal for additional storage or gardening tools.
This property represents a rare and exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to create a highly personalized, low-maintenance home. With its idyllic location, spacious design, and the added benefit of being chain-free, it is sure to appeal to a wide range of buyers.

By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market.

Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Auctioneer authority to sign the Reservation Form on their behalf and to confirm acceptance of the Terms and Conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation Form and all Terms and Conditions can be found in the Information Pack which can be downloaded from our website or requested from our Auctioneer.

This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Any additional fees and charges over and above this will be confirmed within the terms and conditions available on the website.
The Buyer's Premium and buyer's administration charge are in addition to the final negotiated selling price.

An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
