Description

Guide Price £350,000 - £370,000. Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Bayview, this beautifully updated three-bedroom bungalow is ready for its next family to move in and enjoy. The current owners have lovingly improved the property throughout, ensuring it offers both comfort and style.

Park with ease on the block-paved driveway or in the spacious garage – it's always good to have options. Step inside, and you'll quickly appreciate the effort the owners have put into enhancing this home. They've upgraded the double glazing, rewired the electrics, replastered throughout, installed new internal doors, fitted a stylish new kitchen and modern bathroom, and landscaped the garden. Even the guttering has been replaced, leaving no stone unturned.

All three bedrooms are generous doubles, providing plenty of space for family or guests. The inviting lounge boasts a cosy log burner, perfect for chilly winter evenings. Meanwhile, the spacious garden room, currently used as a dining room, offers a wonderful vantage point to relax and enjoy the landscaped garden's peaceful surroundings.

"We have loved our time here; it feels so homely," say the current owners. "We'll really miss the friendly and helpful neighbours, and we often enjoy a pleasant stroll to Leysdown, which is just a short walk away."

With its quiet location, thoughtful updates, and inviting spaces, this bungalow offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Don't miss the chance to make it yours!

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
