Description

Nestled on the edge of a picturesque village in North Hertfordshire, this three-bedroom detached bungalow presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. While it currently requires modernization, the property sits on a generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre, making it a prime candidate for redevelopment subject to the necessary planning permissions. The accommodation is spacious and well-distributed, featuring a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a living area complete with a feature fireplace and sliding doors that provide access to the rear garden. The kitchen includes built-in appliances and ample space for dining, while adjoining rooms offer flexible usage as bedrooms or office space. Each of the three bedrooms is designed with practicality in mind, including built-in wardrobes and sufficient natural light. The property also boasts a conservatory that enhances the living space and overlooks the expansive garden area. Outside, the large grounds provide considerable potential for landscaping or extension projects. A double garage complements the property along with substantial driveway parking, enhancing its appeal for future modifications. Located within proximity to local amenities and open countryside, this bungalow presents an ideal canvas for buyers looking to create their dream home or an attractive investment opportunity. With careful renovations, there is significant potential to increase its value while taking full advantage of its desirable location.
