Description

Ding! If you've been waiting for a lightbulb moment, this is it.
Welcome to Lightwood Road in the ever popular area of Lightwood, where this two bedroom detached bungalow is sure to brighten your day. Offered with no upward chain and perfectly suited to downsizers looking for easy, single storey living, this bright idea won't stay switched on for long!
Step inside and the bright ideas keep on coming! A welcoming entrance hallway sets the scene before leading into the spacious living room, where a cosy fireplace creates the perfect spot to switch off and relax. A door opens through to the dining room, offering a wonderful space for family meals, entertaining friends or simply enjoying everyday life, while its open feel allows you to flow effortlessly into the kitchen.
The kitchen is currently fitted with white cabinetry, contrasting worktops, a ceramic sink with drainer and space for appliances, giving you the freedom to move straight in or let your own bright ideas shine with a modern update. Just off the kitchen is access to the rear garden along with a handy storage room, adding even more practicality.
When the day is done, two generous double bedrooms provide peaceful places to unwind. The front bedroom enjoys glorious views stretching across Florence Country Park, giving you a picture perfect outlook to wake up to each morning. And just when you thought all the bright ideas had been discovered, there is also a useful loft room, offering a versatile space that could be ideal as a hobby room, home office, reading nook or occasional retreat, subject to any necessary regulations. Surrounded by handy eaves storage, it provides plenty of room to keep belongings neatly tucked away and out of sight. Completing the accommodation is a shower room, fitted with a walk in shower, vanity wash hand basin and WC.
Outside, the garden is another illuminating feature, designed for those who would rather spend their time enjoying the sunshine than maintaining it. Fully block paved for ease of upkeep, it offers a fantastic space to sit back and relax, while the garage provides excellent storage, secure parking or the ideal home for tools and hobbies. To the front, a neatly maintained garden creates an attractive first impression, complemented by a generous block paved driveway running alongside the property, providing ample off road parking.

  • 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.
