Description

Nestled in the charming village of Shillington, this three-bedroom linked detached bungalow offers a unique canvas for renovation and investment. The property is being sold with the added benefit of no onward chain, making it an appealing choice for buyers eager to personalize their home. With several areas requiring cosmetic updates, there is significant potential for customization to reflect individual tastes. Entering the property, you will find a spacious living room that exudes natural light and warmth. A feature fireplace serves as a focal point, while patio doors provide seamless access to the fully enclosed rear garden. This connection between indoors and outdoors enhances the living experience, especially during the warmer months when the garden can be fully appreciated. The existing kitchen is practical but awaits a modern update to transform it into a contemporary space ideal for everyday living. Three generously sized bedrooms offer comfortable private retreats, complemented by a dedicated shower room and an additional cloakroom that adds convenience for residents and guests alike. One of the most compelling features of this bungalow is its renovation potential. With appropriate planning permissions, there is ample opportunity to extend or reconfigure the layout to suit evolving needs—making it an attractive option for families planning to grow or individuals seeking more expansive spaces. Outside, you'll appreciate the private driveway leading to a garage complete with workshop space, providing secure off-road parking and extra storage options. The rear garden stands out as a mature sanctuary that invites gardening enthusiasts or families looking for outdoor play areas—a serene environment perfect for relaxation or gatherings. Shillington itself boasts a welcoming community atmosphere set within scenic surroundings. Despite its tranquil village charm, residents enjoy excellent access to nearby Hitchin—a vibrant market town offering a diverse array of shops, eateries, and recreational facilities. Commuters will find convenient rail links from Hitchin into London, striking a balance between country living and city accessibility. This property's combination of location benefits, renovation opportunities, and investment potential makes it an intriguing prospect for those looking to create their ideal home in Shillington.
