Description

This spacious 3-bedroom detached bungalow presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled within a tranquil cul-de-sac of only nine similar properties, the home boasts a solid structure and ample space, making it an excellent candidate for modernization. The exterior features a welcoming UPVC porch that leads into a generous hallway, providing access to the various rooms. The layout includes three bedrooms, with the largest situated at the front of the home, complete with an en suite shower room. Another bedroom offers built-in wardrobes, while the third can easily serve as an additional guest room or study. A separate cloakroom and bathroom enhance functionality for family living. The light-filled living room, featuring a prominent window and a gas fireplace, is ideal for relaxation and entertaining. Adjacent to this space is the dining room, which opens onto a conservatory via patio doors—offering potential for further integration with your outdoor area. The conservatory provides direct access to the sizable rear garden, which is currently laid out with both patio and stone chippings, along with established greenery. The kitchen contains shaker-style cabinetry equipped with essential appliances, including an electric cooker and gas hob. While there is room for upgrading to suit modern tastes, its current configuration maintains practicality with spaces allocated for laundry appliances. Externally, this property occupies a good-sized plot with established gardens at both the front and rear. The driveway accommodates several vehicles and leads to a tandem garage—providing valuable storage or workshop space. The surrounding hedgerows offer privacy while enhancing curb appeal. Located in the heart of Whitley village, this bungalow benefits from easy access to local amenities such as primary schools, community shops, sports clubs, and dining options like the respected Pear Tree Inn. Additional conveniences include major supermarkets within two miles and proximity to historic towns like Bradford on Avon and Corsham. With excellent transport links—including nearby bus services and road access to Bath via the A4—the location supports both daily commuting needs and leisurely outings. In summary, this bungalow presents not only a comfortable living space but also significant potential for updating or customizing to create an ideal family home in a friendly community setting—all while being offered with no onward chain.
