So it is well worth checking out this attractive three-bedroom, detached bungalow in Selston that has just made it on to the market with Eastwood estate agents Burchell Edwards, who are inviting offers in the region of £375,000.
Butchell Edwards go so far as to describe the property as “a downsizer’s dream” – and that’s hardly surprising when you consider it boasts an annexe and an outdoor pool in the garden.
It sits on Portland Road, which is close to shops, amenities, schools, bus routes and major road links, including junction 27 of the M1. But it is also set well back from the road, offering a fair degree of privacy.
Step inside to find an entrance hallway, lounge, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and wet room, all admirably presented..
The bungalow is the centrepiece of a substantial plot that makes you wonder if you might even be UP-sizing! At the front, there is a lawn and concrete driveway providing off-street parking space and leading to a garage with up-and-over door, light and power. And at the back, a generously-sized garden features another lawn, a paved patio area and a variety of plants, bushes and shrubs, as well as that aforementioned annexe and pool.

15. Front garden, driveway and garage
Let's return to the front of the bungalow for the last photo in our gallery. Behind gated access, a lawned garden sits next to a concrete driveway that provides off-street parking space and leads to an integral garage with up-and-over door, power and lighting. At the back of the garage are double doors leading out to the rear garden. Photo: Zoopla
