Stretton Close, Liverpool, Merseyside, L12

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after West Derby, this fully refurbished bungalow offers easy single-storey living with no stairs.

The south-facing lounge, conservatory, kitchen and rear garden fill the home with natural light. The bungalow was completely renewed in 2020, with everything replaced, refitted and bought new, and only the central heating kept, as the boiler and tank are in good order. The new fully fitted IKEA kitchen has an extractor fan and space for a kitchen dining table. The new bathroom has a shower over the bath and an extractor fan, and all the internal doors are newly fitted. The bungalow also has gas central heating and cavity wall insulation. Eight newly fitted solar panels on the south and west aspects of the roof, plus a storage battery, help keep running costs down. A fitted loft ladder, partial boarding and a light provide useful extra storage.



The conservatory is fully insulated and heated, with an energy-efficient blue glass roof and a quartz tiled floor. New space-saving sliding patio doors separate it from the lounge, and French doors open onto the paved patio, so it works all year round as a sunroom, dining space or home office.

Outside, the large south-facing rear garden is not overlooked. It has a summer house and easy-maintenance raised beds with established shrubs and plants. The rear garden and side drive are fully enclosed by secure fencing, and there is room to extend, subject to planning. A front drive provides parking alongside a lawned front garden with shrubs.

The location is a major plus. Tesco, M&S Food and Asda are all nearby, and West Derby Village amenities and its church are close at hand. Croxteth Hall and its 500-acre country park are on the doorstep, with walkable direct access paths from the bungalow via Fir Tree Drive South and Carville Way. The country park estate has its own shops, including a convenience store and post office, chemist, hair and beauty, fish and chips and a café. A doctor’s surgery, St Bartholomew’s church and Emmaus primary school are also in that vicinity. Bus route 18 runs frequently to Liverpool city centre, and the 210 and 102 local services go to the main hospitals and a retail park with a cinema.

It suits downsizers and retirees who want a step-free, move-in-ready home near green space, as well as first-time buyers and couples who want a garden and parking. It will also appeal to anyone who values low running costs and the potential to extend. Bungalows in this condition, with solar panels, battery storage, a heated conservatory and a private south-facing garden, rarely come up in this part of Liverpool, so early viewing is recommended.
