Why is James Road always on buyers’ wish lists? Well, take your pick. It could be the blink-and-you’re-there access to the town centre, the A45, or the train station with its direct line to London (ideal for commuters and those who just like to say, “i’ll be in the city in an hour”). Maybe it’s the cluster of nearby shops and supermarkets, making the weekly shop less of a chore and more of a stroll. Or perhaps it’s the neighbourhood itself – a mix of bungalows and family homes that give the area its warm, lived-in feel. The kind of place where neighbours nod hello, gardens are tended with pride, and kids can actually play outside without you worrying they’ll end up in the next postcode. Whatever the reason, James Road isn’t just “popular” – it’s properly desirable. Homes here don’t just get noticed, they get remembered. And if you’ve been looking for that sweet spot between convenience, comfort, and community… well, you may have just found it.

Walking up to this bungalow is the very definition of kerb appeal. The front lawn is neatly kept, the borders burst with colour and well-placed shrubs, all framed by modern fencing brick wall that adds just the right touch of style. It’s a multi-textured treat for the eyes — and that’s before you pass under the archway and make your way to the front door. Talk about setting the tone… this home knows how to make an entrance. Step inside and the welcome continues.
Through the attractive porch, you’re immediately greeted by light and brightness — the kind of space that feels instantly inviting. It’s the perfect little spot to kick off your shoes, hang up your coat, and pause for just a moment before exploring everything this stunning bungalow has to offer.

Now, the current owner hasn’t just lived here — they’ve loved here. Every corner of this bungalow shows the care, attention, and genuine pride that’s been poured into it. It’s been modernised to a wonderful degree, with a style and finesse that strikes the perfect balance between contemporary living and homely comfort. You know that feeling when a place just works? This is one of those homes.

The lounge is, without doubt, one of the standout spaces in this home. It’s beautifully decorated, with stylish finishes that still feel warm and welcoming, and that thick, cosy carpet underfoot gives the whole room an instant sense of comfort. This is the kind of space that makes you want to kick off your shoes, sink into the sofa, and just exhale. The room itself is generously sized, so whether your idea of heaven is curling up for a box-set binge, gathering the family for movie night, or simply enjoying a quiet cuppa in peace, there’s plenty of room for it all. It strikes that lovely balance of being elegant enough to impress, yet relaxed enough that you’ll actually want to live in it (rather than just keep it tidy for the neighbours).

And if you’re more of an outdoorsy soul, you’ll love the French doors that lead straight into the rear garden. Throw them open on a summer’s day and the lounge transforms into a light-filled indoor-outdoor haven — perfect for barbecues, lazy Sundays, or just letting the breeze roll in while you put your feet up.

Ah, the kitchen — the beating heart of any home. And what a heart this one has! No wonder the estate agent fell for it (and frankly, who wouldn’t?). It’s a room that blends practicality with genuine style, giving you a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

The cabinetry, finished in a soft, contemporary tone, feels fresh and calming, while the worktops and splashbacks add just the right touch of modern polish. And then there’s that floor — bold, patterned, full of colour and character. It gives the whole room a lift, adding warmth and personality in a way that plain tiles never could.With plenty of storage, generous worktop space, and a lovely outlook to the garden through the window, it’s easy to picture this kitchen in action — morning coffees, weekday dinners, or Sunday roasts with all the trimmings. It’s a room that doesn’t just work hard… it works beautifully.

This gorgeous bungalow boasts not one, but two generous double bedrooms.And these aren’t just “somewhere to lay your head” kind of rooms — they’re genuinely spacious retreats. Large enough to accommodate a chair, a small sofa, or even a neat little desk, they’re versatile spaces that adapt to whatever life throws your way.

Want a quiet corner to curl up with a book? Done. Need a spot to glance over tomorrow’s meeting notes? Easy. Or perhaps you simply want the kind of bedroom where sleep comes effortlessly the moment your head touches the pillow. These rooms deliver it all — comfort, flexibility, and that all-important sense of calm.

The bathroom here really does have the wow factor. Recently refurbished by the current owner, it strikes that perfect balance between fresh modernity and relaxing sanctuary. Crisp white tiling bounces the light around, while the warm wood-effect flooring adds a touch of natural comfort underfoot.

The panelled bath, complete with a stylish mixer tap and shower, feels like it’s just waiting for you to light a few candles and melt the day away in a sea of bubbles. There’s also a sleek WC and a contemporary sink with vanity unit — ideal for keeping life’s little essentials neatly tucked out of sight.

From morning routines to evening soaks, this bathroom has been designed not just to function beautifully, but to make every moment feel a little more indulgent. In short, it’s the kind of space that turns the everyday into a treat. As if that wasn’t enough, this gem of a bungalow also boasts a separate, refurbished cloakroom — perfect for guests or for those moments when you simply can’t wait.

Step outside and you’ll see that the magic continues. This rear garden has clearly been created with love (and more than a little green-fingered know-how). A tapestry of colourful flowers wraps around a lush green lawn, while raised beds and borders provide the perfect canvas for home-grown vegetables, herbs, or whatever you fancy nurturing. It’s a garden that’s not only beautiful but brilliantly practical too.

There are peaceful spots for simply sitting back with a coffee and catching the sunshine, plus more social corners just made for evening drinks with friends. It’s a true “something for everyone” garden. And it doesn’t end there. To the rear, you’ll find a brick-built outbuilding with full power and electrics — currently set up as a home gym but equally perfect as a home office, hobby room, or creative studio. The versatility is endless. Add to that a substantial brick-built greenhouse, and suddenly even the most ambitious gardener will feel right at home.

Finally, beyond the double gates, there’s even extra parking space for another car, making this outdoor area as practical as it is picturesque. This isn’t just a garden — it’s a lifestyle, ready and waiting for its next chapter.
