This four-bedroom bungalow, owned by the same family for approximately 60 years, presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable area. Nestled on a generous 1.36-acre plot, the property features expansive grounds that include stunning rear gardens with a lake, Letcombe Brook, and remnants of the old Wilts and Berks canal wall.
Internally, the home boasts four reception rooms alongside the bedrooms, providing ample space for family living. While the property is already spacious, there is considerable potential to enhance its layout or even add another level, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. Notably, planning consent has been granted for an additional dwelling to be constructed on the right-hand side of the bungalow, which could further increase the property's value and functionality. Details regarding this can be found on the Vale Of White Horse District Council website under reference P22/V0329/FUL.
