Description

This four-bedroom bungalow presents a promising opportunity for those with a vision for renovation or self-build projects. Although structurally sound, the property is in need of modernisation and offers the potential to transform it into a tailored residence. Nestled on a private lane, it provides access to picturesque walking paths leading to the charming countryside and Buckland church, creating an inviting setting for outdoor enthusiasts. Conveniently located just three miles from Buntingford and five miles from Royston, this home is close to essential amenities including shops, restaurants, and transport links to London and Cambridge. As you enter, a spacious covered porch welcomes you and leads into an airy entrance lobby that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The generous living room features patio doors opening up to a conservatory that overlooks the garden, perfect for enhancing natural light. A mezzanine area currently serves as an office space, adding versatility. The dining room offers warmth with its wood burner, while the kitchen provides dual aspect views and light-filled spaces conducive to cooking and entertaining. Although functional, both spaces present opportunities for remodelling. The property includes four well-sized bedrooms with ample storage solutions; however, updating could significantly enhance their appeal. A shared shower room complements two of the bedrooms while the master bedroom boasts pleasant garden views. Outside, a generous carriage driveway allows for considerable parking space which could be further developed into an expansive garden if desired. The rear lawn has potential for landscaping improvements, making it ideal for various outdoor activities or gardening ventures. Overall, this bungalow is set in a tranquil location yet remains accessible to local conveniences and schools—making it an excellent investment prospect for those ready to embark on a renovation journey.
