Description

This semi-detached bungalow presents a significant renovation and investment opportunity, backed by full planning consent to transform it into a modern two-bedroom, two-reception home. With planning number 21/01977/FULL already approved, the groundwork is set for creating a functional and attractive family residence. Located just a short stroll from the beach and the scenic Fife Coastal Path, this property benefits greatly from its proximity to local amenities. The bustling high street and nearby retail park offer a variety of essential services, including major supermarkets and independent shops. Additionally, residents have access to several primary schools and Levenmouth Academy for secondary education. For leisure enthusiasts, the area boasts numerous recreational options, including Letham Glen’s woodlands, Silverburn Forest, Leven beach, and multiple golf courses like Leven Links and Scoonie Golf. With easy access to public transport via Leven train station and major roads like the A915 and A92 connecting to Edinburgh and Dundee within an hour's drive, this property combines convenience with coastal charm. The existing structure features approximately 100 square meters of internal space made of solid brick construction. Current plans envision an open-concept design that includes a lounge/dining area flowing into a kitchen, two comfortable double bedrooms, a utility or boot room, and modern bathroom facilities. The layout maximizes light and space while allowing for contemporary living styles. On the exterior, the front garden is currently laid to lawn with a robust brick wall surrounding it, providing both privacy and curb appeal. Approved plans also allow for off-street parking—an attractive feature in this area. A paved walkway leads from the side of the house to a fully paved rear garden bordered by timber fencing, creating an easily maintained outdoor space that can be tailored to various uses. This property not only offers immediate potential but also invites further enhancements that can increase value in a vibrant community setting.
