Description

Nestled in the coveted Ilsham Valley, this traditional detached bungalow from the 1930s offers an exceptional renovation opportunity. While the property retains much of its original charm, it stands ready for a thoughtful update that could transform it into a modern family home or lucrative investment. A welcoming entrance vestibule leads to an expansive reception hall with flexible space that could easily accommodate a study or dining area. The bright bay-windowed lounge is complemented by a spacious kitchen breakfast room that transitions into a utility area with garden access and an additional lean-to storage space. The property features three generous double bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own en-suite shower, along with a family bathroom that has great potential for refurbishment. The layout presents numerous possibilities for reconfiguration or even expansion, subject to necessary planning permissions. Outside, the driveway provides ample parking alongside a detached garage, while mature front and rear gardens offer privacy and the potential for landscaping enhancements. Positioned just moments from Wellswood Village and the picturesque Anstey’s Cove and Meadfoot Beach, this property is perfect for those looking to create their dream coastal retreat or capitalize on its investment potential in the thriving South West market.
