Description

This spacious detached bungalow presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated on a generous plot, the property features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it suitable for families or individuals seeking to expand their living space. The double garage adds practical value, while the private gardens enhance the home's appeal and potential for development. Located in the charming village of Upper Basildon, the property benefits from its tranquil setting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just two miles away is Pangbourne, which offers a variety of local shops, cafes, a health center, and a mainline train station, providing excellent transport links. The village itself has a traditional pub and community facilities including a village hall, tennis courts, and well-regarded primary schooling options. For families looking for educational opportunities, Theale Green school provides convenient pick-up services in the area, while prestigious institutions such as St Andrews and Bradfield Colleges are nearby. Inside, the home features an entrance lobby leading to an open-plan sitting room and dining room arrangement that encourages versatile use of space. The principal bedroom comes with an en suite shower room, and there are two additional bedrooms along with a family bathroom that could benefit from modernization. The outdoor space is noteworthy; both front and rear gardens are primarily laid to lawn and feature established hedges and trees providing privacy. The rear garden also includes a paved terrace suitable for outdoor gatherings or relaxing in green surroundings. Investors should consider the potential for further development given the size of the plot and existing layout. With proper consents in place, this property could be transformed into a much larger home that fits modern lifestyle needs while benefiting from its desirable location.
