Description

Nestled within established gardens, this older-style detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a renovation project in a desirable residential area. With three bedrooms and the potential for modernization, this property offers ample scope for improvement and extension, pending the necessary planning permissions. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious reception hall featuring a built-in coat cupboard and access to the loft space, hinting at the possibilities for expansion. The sitting room, measuring 14'5" x 12', boasts an inviting tiled open fireplace and large bay windows that invite natural light from both front and side elevations. The kitchen, with dimensions of 10'9" x 10'2", is functional yet ripe for updating. It includes a single bowl sink unit with work surfaces below, space for a gas cooker, and an airing cupboard housing the Worcester gas-fired central heating boiler. The kitchen also enjoys access to both side windows and a rear door leading to the garden. The accommodation features three bedrooms: the first bedroom measures 13'7" x 12'3" with its own front-facing bay window; the second bedroom is 12'2" x 9'8", overlooking the rear; while the third bedroom is slightly smaller at 12'5" x 9'2", with side garden views. A part-tiled bathroom completes the interior, equipped with essential fixtures including a pedestal wash hand basin and bath. Externally, the property benefits from a generous frontage bordered by hedging and partial fencing, offering privacy along with lawned areas. A driveway leads along one side of the bungalow to an enclosed rear garden that provides additional outdoor space featuring mature shrubbery—creating an appealing backdrop for future landscaping or outdoor enhancements. Overall, this bungalow’s location and inherent potential make it an attractive consideration for buyers interested in transforming it into their ideal home or investment opportunity.
