Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation in a desirable cul-de-sac near the River Esk. While the property is well-maintained and move-in ready, its interior style reflects an earlier era, offering potential buyers a blank canvas to customize and modernize according to their personal taste. Occupying a generous plot of approximately 460m², the home boasts west-facing views that are perfect for enjoying sunsets. The spacious layout includes a traditional lounge featuring an open fire, two additional double bedrooms, and a kitchen that flows into a dining room with access to the rear garden. The original garage has been thoughtfully converted into a master bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, enhancing the living space while providing added flexibility. The outdoor areas are equally appealing; the front garden enhances curb appeal with its lawned space, while the rear garden features mature shrub borders, storage sheds, and a charming summer house—ideal for leisurely afternoons. Additionally, there’s potential for further development in the boarded attic space, which has power and lighting already installed. A previous Velux roof light indicates the possibility of conversion into usable living space (subject to planning permission). The property benefits from ample parking on the driveway for three or more vehicles. Its location offers not only tranquility but also convenient access to scenic riverside walks, adding to its allure as an investment opportunity in this sought-after neighborhood. With various possibilities for updates and improvements, this bungalow is ideal for those looking to invest in a home that can evolve along with their needs while situated in a lovely setting.
