This charming bungalow has been a family home for approximately 60 years, showcasing both nostalgia and untapped potential. Nestled in a serene setting with expansive grounds of 1.36 acres, the property features beautiful rear gardens that include a tranquil lake, Letcombe Brook, and remnants of the historic Wilts and Berks canal wall.
Internally, the home boasts four spacious bedrooms along with four reception rooms, offering ample living space as it stands. However, there is significant potential for further enhancement. The possibility to extend the existing structure or even add an additional level exists, subject to planning permissions. Additionally, there is already approved planning permission to construct a separate dwelling on the right-hand side of the property, which opens avenues for development or investment opportunities—more details are available through the Vale Of White Horse District Council under reference P22/V0329/FUL.
