Description

Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after village of Gosfield, this detached chalet bungalow presents a compelling renovation opportunity for those looking to craft a home that reflects their personal style. Surrounded by other distinctive bungalows and chalet-style homes, the neighborhood is characterized by its unique charm and community-oriented atmosphere. The property is in need of comprehensive modernisation, offering a blank slate for prospective buyers. It features double-glazed windows and a recently installed boiler, which provide a solid foundation for redevelopment. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, a cloakroom with WC, a kitchen, a family bathroom, two bedrooms, a dining room, and a spacious living area. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms along with another bathroom further enhance the flexibility of the layout, making it suitable for various family dynamics. The adaptable nature of chalet bungalows allows for significant reconfiguration or expansion possibilities, pending necessary permissions. Situated on an expansive plot, the exterior includes a driveway leading to both a sizable front garden and ample side space with potential for diverse uses. The rear garden stretches approximately 100 feet and currently offers an overgrown canvas ready for imaginative landscaping and outdoor enhancements. This property sits within Gosfield, known for its picturesque settings and amenities such as an excellent primary school, private schooling options, scenic walks through the countryside, and local leisure facilities like golf courses and lakes. Although it provides a serene lifestyle, Gosfield maintains convenient connectivity to nearby towns for shopping and transport links. With its spacious layout and favorable location in one of Gosfield's desirable residential areas, this chalet bungalow holds substantial investment potential. A thoughtful renovation could transform this property into an exceptional family home tailored to meet modern living standards while cherishing the essence of its surroundings.
