Description

SUMMARY
Two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Hailsham. Offering spacious accommodation, driveway parking, a garage, and attractive gardens, this home presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking single-level living with scope to personalise. No onward chain!


DESCRIPTION
NEW PRICE!!! Located in the popular Solway area of Hailsham, this charming two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers comfortable single-storey living in a peaceful and well-established neighbourhood.

The property is set back from the road, with a neat front garden and a driveway providing off-road parking, leading to a detached garage. Inside, the spacious lounge/dining room enjoys an abundance of natural light and features views over the rear garden. The fitted kitchen offers ample storage and workspace, with access to the side of the property.

Two well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a shower, wash basin, and WC.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and a patio seating area - ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The property offers scope to modernise internally and potential to extend (subject to planning permission), making it an excellent choice for buyers looking to add their own stamp.

Situated close to local shops, bus routes, and Hailsham town centre amenities, 23 Solway benefits from a convenient yet quiet location. Offered to the market with no onward chain, early viewing is highly recommended.
