Description

This detached bungalow features three bedrooms and presents a significant opportunity for renovation or development. With planning permission already granted for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of two new three-storey townhouses, this property is particularly attractive to developers or those looking for a substantial project. Currently, the bungalow is equipped with gas central heating and has majority double glazing. However, it would greatly benefit from modernization, making it an ideal candidate for buyers looking to tailor the space to their preferences. There is also potential to extend the property or convert the loft area (subject to planning permission), allowing for various options depending on your vision. The home is set back from the road, offering a spacious front garden and driveway that provides ample parking. Upon entering, you are greeted by a sizable entrance porch that leads into a hallway connecting all main rooms. The lounge features a bay window overlooking the front garden and additional side windows that enhance natural light. While there is a disused tiled fireplace in place, it offers charm and potential for enhancement. The kitchen comes with basic cabinetry and space for appliances but would also benefit from refurbishment. A door from the kitchen opens into a glazed rear porch that leads out to the rear garden. The layout includes three bedrooms that share a bathroom and separate WC, both of which could be updated or reconfigured to create a larger family bathroom. Outside, the rear garden predominantly features lawn space with excellent landscaping potential, while a detached garage adds further utility. Although currently let, this property will be sold with vacant possession, allowing immediate occupancy upon purchase. For those interested in exploring the planning documents or further details about development opportunities, please inquire for full plans and specifications.
