Description

This detached bungalow presents a valuable opportunity for renovation and investment, situated on an expansive plot of approximately 0.3 acres. While the property requires modernization throughout, it provides a blank canvas for buyers looking to capitalize on its potential. The home has not changed hands in over 40 years and is being offered without onward chain, allowing for a straightforward acquisition process. Nestled in a peaceful area just off the picturesque village green of Polyphant, this property benefits from a tranquil setting while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. Within walking distance, residents can access a village shop, GP surgery, and Methodist Chapel. For more extensive services, the nearby village of Lewannick offers additional shops, a public house, primary school, and post office. Notable attractions such as The Rising Sun pub and Trethorne Hotel and Golf Club are located just a short drive away. Internally, the bungalow features well-proportioned living spaces that are ready for customization. A welcoming hallway leads to a dual-aspect sitting/dining room with a decorative stone fireplace as its focal point. The kitchen includes space for appliances and opens directly onto the rear terrace and garden—ideal for outdoor entertaining or gardening enthusiasts. Three generous double bedrooms provide built-in storage, while the accommodation is complete with a bathroom featuring both shower and bath facilities. Externally, the property is accessed via a gated driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles alongside the detached double garage equipped with power supply. The surrounding gardens offer further scope for landscaping or expansion. With essential services like mains electricity, water, drainage, and oil-fired central heating already in place, this bungalow provides an excellent foundation for personalization or resale after improvements are made. Additionally, broadband availability adds modern convenience to this appealing location. Overall, this property not only offers ample living space but also significant renovation potential in a desirable village setting—making it an attractive prospect for investors or those looking to create their dream home.
