Description

This detached four-bedroom chalet-style home is situated on a generous 0.23-acre plot in a desirable rural area, presenting an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. The property offers ample living space and a variety of external features that can be enhanced to increase value further. Upon entering, the central hallway leads to a spacious triple-aspect living room, filled with natural light and lovely views over the countryside. The kitchen/breakfast room is functional and well laid-out, featuring bespoke solid wood units — ideal for modernising or reconfiguring according to personal tastes. This space opens into a large conservatory, creating a versatile area perfect for entertaining while providing direct access to the garden. The ground floor includes two double bedrooms served by a high-quality family bathroom recently updated with contemporary fittings. Upstairs, two additional double bedrooms offer excellent storage options, accompanied by a WC that could benefit from refurbishment. Environmentally conscious buyers will appreciate the property's solar panels which contribute to its impressive EPC Rating: B (89), offering long-term energy savings and reducing utility costs. The external aspects are equally compelling. The front garden is primarily lawned and features a spacious gravel driveway suitable for multiple vehicles, alongside an additional gated access leading to another driveway and carport—perfect for larger vehicles or secure storage. The expansive rear garden provides plenty of room for landscaping projects or outdoor leisure activities, while the substantial detached outbuilding at the back holds tremendous conversion potential (subject to planning permission). This space might serve as an annexe, studio, or office—options that undoubtedly enhance this property's investment appeal. Located in Bassingbourn village, known for its combination of historic character and modern amenities—including shops, schools, and recreation areas—this property strikes an appealing balance between serene rural living and convenient accessibility through nearby transport links.
