Description

This charming two-bedroom detached bungalow offers a promising canvas for renovation and investment, set on an expansive plot that presents considerable potential for development (subject to planning permissions). Located on a quiet road, the property is conveniently close to the high street and local schools, making it an appealing option for families or those seeking to capitalize on its investment prospects. The entrance porch leads into a spacious lounge measuring approximately 11' 7" x 22' 2", featuring a striking double-glazed bay window that invites natural light. This area can serve as a comfortable living space or be reimagined to suit modern needs. The kitchen/diner, with dimensions of about 12' 5" x 16' 4", boasts double-glazed windows to both the front and side, as well as a door opening onto the garden. It includes essential amenities such as matching eye and base units, a sink and drainer, and ample space for appliances. The inclusion of a larder cupboard offers additional storage options, while the wall-mounted gas boiler provides efficient heating. An inner hallway grants access to both bedrooms and features loft access with a ladder. The loft is fully boarded, indicating potential for conversion—an attractive feature that could significantly increase living space if developed. Bedroom one is a generous size at approximately 11' 9" x 9' 7" and contains built-in storage solutions, while bedroom two measures about 11' 9" x 9' 2" and connects directly to the conservatory. The shower room includes essentials such as a low-level WC, wash hand basin, and double shower cubicle within its modest footprint of around 7' 2" x 8' 2". The conservatory adds versatile living space at roughly 9' 6" x 10' 4”, with half-brick walls providing stability alongside direct access to the rear garden. Outside, the large rear garden encompasses a patio area and is predominantly laid to lawn, dotted with trees including an apple tree. This private outdoor space allows for both relaxation and expansion possibilities. A garage equipped with power and lighting complements the property’s offerings and includes side access. With no onward chain involved in this sale, this bungalow stands ready for new owners looking to invest in its future potential while enjoying all the conveniences of its desirable location.
