Description

Nestled in the desirable Church Cove area, this detached dormer bungalow has been in the same family since its construction in 1939. With four generously sized double bedrooms and three reception rooms, this property presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. The spacious layout is complemented by period features such as high ceilings and traditional fireplaces, offering a blend of character and potential. The home boasts a south-facing rear garden that provides sunlight throughout the day, ideal for those looking to create outdoor spaces or gardens. Although the property requires updating throughout, this offers you the chance to tailor renovations according to your vision and style. The main level includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC, and ample reception space. Upstairs, two additional double bedrooms await, along with eaves storage that could accommodate further expansion into living space, subject to planning permissions. An attached garage and workshop add practical elements to the property while enhancing its investment appeal.
