Description

This detached bungalow, built in the 1950s and located in the desirable village of Wetherden, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on a substantial 0.27-acre plot, this property features three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two reception areas, making it ideal for family living or those seeking versatile spaces that could accommodate a home office or guest suite. The interior layout is well-proportioned, offering a solid foundation for modernization. The existing kitchen is functional and opens up possibilities for a contemporary redesign. Additionally, the presence of four outbuildings provides extra storage or potential uses such as a workshop or garden studio. There is also significant potential to extend the property further, subject to local planning approvals, which would allow new owners to enhance both living space and value. Outside, the gardens offer generous outdoor space with established hedging that ensures privacy while still allowing for creativity in landscaping. There is ample room to potentially add a garage if desired. This extensive outdoor area invites possibilities for entertaining or creating your own personal retreat. Wetherden itself is known for its charming community atmosphere and picturesque surroundings. Located less than a mile from local amenities including a Co-op store, residents can enjoy both peace and convenience. The village’s proximity to the A14 facilitates easy travel to larger towns; Stowmarket is just a short drive away and provides additional shopping options, schools, leisure facilities, and direct mainline rail access to London Liverpool Street. While some modernization work is needed, this aspect allows prospective buyers to tailor their new home according to their individual tastes and preferences. With its spacious layout, prime location, and abundant potential for improvement, this bungalow stands as an excellent opportunity in one of Suffolk’s sought-after villages.
