Charming 1950s built bungalow. situated in well regarded Parklands, offering superb potential, a generous west-facing garden and easy access to Chichester’s historic city centre.
About the property
Situated on sought-after Oak Avenue in Parklands, Chichester, this two-bedroom bungalow offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to place their own stamp on a home within easy reach of key amenities and a pleasant stroll from the historic city centre. Set on a quiet residential road, the property enjoys a peaceful yet well-connected setting.
Believed to date from the 1950s, the property has a driveway leading to a garage, ideal for storage or use as a workshop, or home office perhaps, though unlikely to accommodate a modern vehicle. The accommodation would benefit from a light programme of updating, including a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring and general redecoration, making it an appealing project for those seeking a manageable renovation.
Inside, a well-proportioned sitting room forms the central living space and opens to a small conservatory, which buyers may consider replacing or removing. Two bedrooms sit at the front: a generous double and a comfortable single, both with good natural light. A bathroom completes the layout.
Outside
A standout feature is the impressive south-facing rear garden. Largely laid to lawn, private and not overlooked, it offers ample space for outdoor relaxation, gardening, or future landscaping ideas.
With its superb location, sizeable plot and clear scope for improvement, this bungalow presents an excellent opportunity to create a charming home in one of Chichester’s most desirable areas.
