Description

This two-bedroom detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors looking to enhance a property in a desirable residential area. Situated conveniently close to transport links and local amenities, this home is ideally located for both personal use and rental potential. The entrance hall welcomes you through a UPVC front door and provides access to all rooms while offering loft space for additional storage. The lounge, measuring approximately 14' x 13', features glazed French doors that lead into a conservatory, filling the space with natural light. The room includes a traditional fireplace that adds character, though it could benefit from modern updates. The conservatory (around 11' x 10') opens directly onto the rear garden, creating an inviting transition between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen (approximately 12' x 11') already has some modern fittings but would respond well to further enhancements; equipped with high gloss cabinets and essential appliances, it offers a solid foundation for transformation. Both bedrooms are generously sized—Bedroom One (about 15' x 10') boasts a bay window that provides additional light, while Bedroom Two (approximately 11' x 11') features charming stained glass detailing. The family bathroom includes essential fixtures but presents opportunities for modernization. The south-facing rear garden is a noteworthy feature, featuring a large crazy paved patio and lawn bordered by mature plants, which could be reimagined into an ideal outdoor space for relaxation or entertainment. A timber summerhouse adds potential as either storage or further leisure space. Additionally, there's off-street parking for two vehicles at the front of the property. With immediate vacant possession available and no onward chain, this bungalow stands ready to be transformed into a more contemporary living space or retained as an investment property in an area with strong rental demand.
