Description

KJT Residential presents a three-bedroom detached bungalow located in the sought-after area of Ruardean Woodside. While this property is ripe for renovation, it offers significant opportunities for investors or homeowners looking to add value through updates and personal touches. The bungalow features a spacious light-filled living room with windows on three sides, enhancing its airy atmosphere. A charming open coal fire contributes character to the space, while ample electrical points are available for modern conveniences. The kitchen, overlooking the garden, provides essential storage with both wall and base units, as well as plumbing for appliances and a larder for additional goods. Accommodation includes three bedrooms—two equipped with built-in wardrobes—providing flexible options for family living or guest space. Each room benefits from natural light and adequate heating. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite and includes wall tiling, which can be refreshed to suit new aesthetics. The property also boasts a conservatory that opens directly to the garden, offering potential for an expanded living area or a cozy retreat. Adjacent to the conservatory are additional storage options that could easily be transformed into functional workspace or hobby areas. The garage is equipped with power and lighting, making it suitable for various uses beyond vehicle storage. Externally, the property is set within generous gardens primarily laid to lawn, which are bordered by shrubs and herbaceous plants. There are multiple outdoor seating areas where one can enjoy sunny days. Accessed via double gates, off-road parking facilitates ease of access while maintaining autonomy from street parking. Located just moments from local woodlands and cycle paths, this bungalow not only provides a comfortable home but also capitalizes on the surrounding natural beauty—a considerable advantage for those who appreciate outdoor activities. With essential utilities already connected, this property stands ready for its next chapter—whether as a personal project or an investment opportunity waiting to be realized.
