Description

This adaptable detached bungalow presents a valuable opportunity for investors or those looking to create their ideal living space, with the potential to configure up to four bedrooms as needed. The layout is spacious, catering well to families or individuals seeking lateral living arrangements. Nestled in a well-regarded cul-de-sac, the property enjoys a private position, set back from the road and featuring a sizeable block-paved driveway that provides ample off-street parking alongside access to a double garage. Upon entering through the side entrance, you are greeted by a generous hallway that has been thoughtfully used as a snug or library. The dining area opens into an expansive sitting room, benefiting from abundant natural light due to its large south-west facing window and distinctive sloping roof, lending an alpine charm. An extension provides access to the fourth bedroom, which currently offers fitted wardrobes and could serve various functions such as a hobby room or office. The kitchen features traditional galley styling with adequate storage and appliance options. Adjacent lies a breakfast room with garden access and an internal connection back to the sitting area. Off the internal hallway are three well-proportioned bedrooms—two with fitted storage—and a family bathroom equipped with an electric shower over the bath. Additionally, there is a separate cloakroom for convenience. The outdoor space is accessible from multiple points within the home and is characterized by its well-maintained gardens featuring lawns, rockeries, and patio areas ideal for entertaining. This property’s unique layout and location offer considerable potential for renovation tailored to modern living needs.
