Description

This three-bedroom detached bungalow, on the market for the first time in over four decades, is set in a spacious plot within a tranquil rural environment. Situated at the end of a private lane and enveloped by open farmland, the property combines seclusion with accessibility to local amenities. This is an excellent opportunity for investors or buyers looking to undertake a significant renovation or even redevelop into a custom-designed residence, pending necessary planning approvals. The interior showcases much of its original charm: the kitchen offers expansive views of the countryside and direct access to the garden, presenting possibilities for a modern open-plan kitchen/dining experience. The generously sized living room benefits from abundant natural light and ample space for furniture arrangement. Each of the three double bedrooms provides comfortable accommodation with potential for personalization, while the existing bathroom features a basic suite that could be updated or reimagined according to individual preferences. Externally, the bungalow benefits from an extensive garden area ideal for landscaping or possible extension projects. Ample parking is available at the front, and the picturesque landscape surrounding the property enhances its appeal as a serene retreat. Located in Forest Green within the beautiful Surrey Hills AONB, residents can enjoy local amenities including shops and pubs while being conveniently close to larger market towns such as Dorking and Guildford that offer comprehensive facilities and transport links to London.
