EPC Rating: D OWNERS INSIGHT "We have owned this bungalow for the past 14 years, during which time it has proved to be a successful rental investment. Having now decided to move on from being landlords, we feel the time is right to offer the property for sale. Situated in a quiet and convenient location, the bungalow is ideally placed for local shops and bus routes, making it a practical choice for a variety of buyers. We believe it would make a lovely home for someone looking to enjoy a more relaxed retirement, while also offering scope to extend, add bedrooms and bathroom in to loft area and create a larger family home, subject to the necessary planning permissions. We hope the next owners will enjoy the property as much as we have enjoyed owning it over the years."
