This detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the tranquil rural hamlet of Coolham, not having been on the market since the 1960s. Situated on approximately 0.3 acres, the property offers a peaceful setting with unobstructed views over surrounding farmland to the west.
Currently, Byfields features three double bedrooms and a bathroom located in one half of the home. The southern side comprises a spacious kitchen breakfast room, dining area, and a large lounge equipped with a fireplace and parquet flooring. A utility/boot room accessible from the driveway adds to the convenience of this layout. The existing space can benefit from modern updates or be entirely reimagined under current planning permission (SP/29/83) that allows for an extensive two-storey extension. This includes provisions for converting the loft to create additional living space and bedrooms, substantially increasing the size and functionality of the home.
With its generous west-facing garden wrapping around three sides of the property, there is considerable scope for expansion (subject to planning permission). Alternatively, those looking for a more immediate project can focus on cosmetic renovations to enhance the property's existing charm while taking advantage of its desirable location.
Accessed via a tarmac driveway that accommodates parking for several vehicles, Byfields also features a double garage that has been partially partitioned into a workshop but could easily be transformed back into full garage space. The serene outdoor areas include a mix of patio sections, lawns, herbaceous borders, and mature trees—all capturing beautiful summer sunsets due to their orientation.
This property not only offers great potential for expansion and improvement but also secures a private rear garden that remains unoverlooked by neighboring properties. With ample possibilities for both residential comfort and increased value through development, Byfields stands out as an intriguing investment opportunity in Coolham’s scenic landscape.
