2 bed bungalow to buy in MK40

Tucked away in one of the most sought-after areas of town, this unique detached bungalow offers a rare combination of seclusion, space, and convenience. Nestled within the charming Castle Quarter, the property enjoys an exceptionally private setting, just moments from local amenities yet shielded from the hustle and bustle by its generous, sun-drenched plot.

A standout feature is the 100-foot deep landscaped garden, thoughtfully designed to provide multiple sunny seating areas and a strong sense of privacy. To the rear, a substantial timber studio offers the perfect space for a home office, creative retreat, or guest accommodation — with further potential to extend or add an additional outbuilding, subject to the necessary consents.

Believed to date from the 1930s and extended in more recent years, the bungalow blends character with comfort. Inside, you'll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, a modern shower room with underfloor heating, and a beautifully light-filled kitchen/family room — complete with high ceilings and ample space for entertaining. Velux rooflights in the kitchen, shower room, and bedrooms flood the interiors with natural light.

The spacious living room features French doors that open directly onto the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The property is situated close to local amenities with the Castle road area having a range of shops, restaurants and cafe's but is also close to the town centre with an array of shopping and leisure facilities available. Another benefit is being within walking distance to Rothsay Educational Centre which provides learning and social opportunities for adults. For the commuter the train station is walk-able with regular trains to London St. Pancras. Local schooling is available with Castle Lower school and Biddenham secondary school as well as all of the popular Harpur trust schools being close by.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.

Minimum online bidding increments:
£50,000 - £250 minimum bid
£50,001 to £150,000 - £500 minimum bid
£150,001 to £250,000 - £1,000 minimum bid
