Description

This four-bedroom bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovators and those with a vision to craft their ideal home. Nestled at the end of a private lane, the property benefits from a peaceful setting while also being in close proximity to charming countryside walks. While the structure is sound, it is primed for modernisation, allowing you to tailor updates to your specific tastes and requirements. Previous planning permission still exists for an extension including a larger kitchen and garage, providing an exciting foundation for expansion or reconfiguration. The entrance greets you with a spacious covered porch that invites natural light, leading into an expansive living room characterized by its full-height ceiling and adjoining conservatory that opens up to the garden—ideal for enjoying sunlight throughout the day. This space is complemented by a dining area featuring a wood burner, creating potential for cozy gatherings. The well-lit kitchen offers dual aspect views but may benefit from modern upgrades to enhance functionality. All four bedrooms overlook the tranquil backyard, with ample storage options available. The outdoor space includes a generous carriage driveway with development potential as well as areas that could be transformed through landscaping efforts. This secluded location offers convenience, being just miles away from Buntingford and Royston where shopping, dining, and transport links are readily accessible. Local schools and independent educational institutions within reach add further value to this investment opportunity.
