OFFERS IN THE REGION OF £475,000

A fantastic opportunity to acquire this well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, ideally positioned on the highly sought-after Downs Road in Istead Rise. Offered to the market chain free, this property combines comfortable single-level living with exceptional scope to extend and enhance (STPP), making it ideal for both downsizers and growing families alike.

The Property

This attractive bungalow is well maintained throughout and offers a practical, well-balanced layout. The spacious living room provides a bright and comfortable setting for everyday living, while the kitchen/dining room sits to the rear, offering a sociable space with direct access to the garden.
