Description

This property presents a valuable opportunity for buyers seeking to invest in a home with substantial renovation potential in one of Frome's established neighborhoods. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac within the desirable Critchill area, this two-bedroom detached bungalow is situated on a surprisingly spacious plot that offers both privacy and versatility. The bungalow currently features a sizable living room that overlooks the front garden, providing a bright and airy atmosphere. The kitchen includes essential wall and base units, though it would benefit from modern updates. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility area with direct access to the rear garden, further enhancing the functional layout of the home. The accommodation also consists of two well-sized bedrooms and an older-style shower room that presents an opportunity for improvement. Externally, the property boasts an expansive garden that wraps around multiple sides of the bungalow. While currently overgrown, this outdoor space has significant potential for landscaping or creating an inviting outdoor retreat. There are existing fruit trees and shrubs, and additional storage options including a shed and greenhouse enhance functionality. Gated access to the front driveway ensures convenience while maintaining seclusion. Investment-minded buyers will appreciate the possibility to extend or reconfigure the existing layout (subject to planning permission), allowing for tailored improvements to meet personal needs or market demands. With off-road parking available via a driveway leading to both a carport and garage, this property combines practicality with untapped potential. This bungalow is being sold as part of a deceased estate with probate already granted, offering prospective owners a chance to transform this blank canvas into their ideal home in a sought-after location. Mains electricity is connected, while mains gas is available on the street should new owners wish to upgrade their heating options. In summary, this property stands out not only for its location but also for its investment potential—ideal for those looking to embark on a renovation project or capitalize on future value enhancements.
