Description

This spacious detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable location, conveniently close to the town center. While it requires significant modernization, the potential to create a custom home tailored to your vision is substantial. Set on a generous plot, this property is accessed via a lengthy driveway that provides parking space for multiple vehicles and leads to a double garage equipped with an electric up-and-over door—ideal for secure storage and vehicle protection. Upon entering, you are greeted by a wide hallway that connects to the main living spaces. The expansive living room, located at the rear of the house, features large windows that allow natural light to flood in and offers direct access to the garden. This area has great potential for both relaxation and entertaining, making it easy to envision its transformation into a welcoming heart of the home. The kitchen includes worktops along three sides and windows that bring in ample daylight. It features an integrated oven, a four-ring gas hob with an extractor fan overhead, and sufficient room for various appliances. Adjoining is a utility room with practical features such as a worktop, butler sink, and additional storage. A spacious dining room offers enough room for large gatherings. There is potential for reconfiguration here; with necessary permissions, it could be opened up for an airy open-plan kitchen/dining area that caters to modern living preferences. The bungalow consists of three double bedrooms, all equipped with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom stands out with its dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Additionally, the family bathroom features both a bath and walk-in shower cubicle along with a separate WC in the cloakroom. Surrounding the home is a wrap-around garden that promises tranquility and privacy. With landscaping efforts, this outdoor space can become an appealing area for leisure activities or gardening. It’s important to note that the property has experienced some challenges previously linked to water damage and visible movement cracks have been observed—potentially due to subsidence from nearby tree roots. No formal evaluations have been conducted regarding these matters, so prospective buyers are encouraged to undertake thorough inspections prior to purchasing. Overall, this property's generous proportions combined with its location in a quiet cul-de-sac make it an intriguing project for someone looking to invest in their own bespoke home or capitalize on its rental potential after renovation.
