Fordham Close, Southport, PR8

Arnold & Phillips are excited to offer this well-proportioned two-bedroom detached true bungalow, tucked away within the highly regarded Fordham Close in Kew, Southport.

Set within an established cul-de-sac made up predominantly of similar bungalow-style homes, this property offers a sense of calm and privacy that many buyers actively seek, while still remaining close to a wide range of everyday amenities and reliable transport links. It’s a home that feels settled and easy from the outset, with a layout that has been adapted over time to better suit modern living.

Approached via a private driveway, the property provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a practical and increasingly valuable feature, particularly for visitors or households with more than one car. The bungalow sits comfortably within its plot, with a frontage that gives a clear sense of space without feeling exposed. Entry is via the main front porch, which offers a useful transition space before stepping inside and helps keep the main living areas separate from the outside world.

Internally, the home immediately reveals one of its key strengths: a sense of flow and openness that works particularly well in a bungalow setting. Originally designed as a three-bedroom property, the layout has been reconfigured to create a more spacious two-bedroom arrangement, prioritising living space and flexibility. The main living room feels generous and welcoming, with enough depth to comfortably accommodate seating and additional furniture without crowding the room. A feature fireplace sits at the heart of the space, providing a natural focal point and a sense of warmth that anchors the room.

To one side, the former third bedroom has been opened up to form an additional dining area, creating a more sociable, open-plan feel without losing definition between spaces. This works well for both day-to-day living and when entertaining, allowing the living and dining areas to interact naturally while still feeling purposeful. Adjoining this space to the rear is the integrated garage and utility area, which adds a layer of practicality that’s often overlooked until you live with it. As it stands, this space is ideal for storage, household tasks or secure parking, but it also presents future potential for conversion into further living accommodation, subject to the usual considerations. For buyers thinking longer term, this adaptability is a notable advantage.

A central hallway leads through to the more private areas of the bungalow, reinforcing a sense of separation between living and sleeping spaces. Both bedrooms are well-sized doubles, with one room benefiting from fitted furniture that help keep the rooms feeling uncluttered and calm. The modern décor throughout is neutral and well considered, making it easy for a new owner to personalise without needing to make immediate changes. Serving the bedrooms is a modern family bathroom, fitted with a corner shower, WC and vanity wash hand basin, arranged in a way that feels both practical and easy to maintain.

Completing the internal accommodation is a fitted modern kitchen, which offers a good range of wall, base and tower units. Integrated appliances and contrasting work surfaces give the space a contemporary feel while remaining firmly focused on usability. The layout provides ample storage and preparation space, making it well suited to everyday cooking rather than just occasional use.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden is not directly overlooked, which enhances its sense of privacy and makes it a genuinely enjoyable space to spend time in. A premium patio terrace wraps around the rear of the bungalow, offering several options for seating throughout the day and creating a strong connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A centrally positioned lawn provides a simple, manageable green area, bordered by established flower beds and timber fencing that give structure without feeling closed in. A second patio area is positioned to follow the sun, offering flexibility depending on the time of day or season. The garden is well established and generous enough to support further extensions if desired (subject to the relevant permissions being granted), making it an attractive prospect for buyers considering future development.

Extending to approximately 1,073 square feet, the bungalow benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout, contributing to comfort and efficiency. The property is also offered with no onward chain, which may appeal to buyers looking for a smoother and more straightforward move. Taken together, the layout, plot and location make this a home that works equally well for those downsizing, as well as buyers seeking single-level living without compromising on space.

Fordham Close is well regarded locally, and its position within Kew offers a strong balance of convenience and community. A range of shops, supermarkets and everyday services are within easy reach, while transport links provide access to Southport town centre and beyond. The area is known for its established residential feel, with similar properties nearby and a quieter pace of life, all without feeling disconnected. For buyers looking for a detached true bungalow in a settled location, this property presents a compelling opportunity.
