Description

Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac within the sought-after Eastbourne region, this appealing detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Featuring three generously sized double bedrooms, the layout is well-suited for family living or as a spacious retreat. One of the bedrooms, located at the rear, is versatile enough to serve as an additional reception room, complete with French doors that lead to a manageable garden space. The front-facing lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light, fostering a welcoming environment. While the kitchen breakfast area is ample in size, it awaits modernization to fully realize its potential. Set on a substantial plot, the property offers convenient off-street parking alongside a detached garage for added storage or workspace.

The bungalow already benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating for comfort throughout the year. Additionally, it comes with no onward chain. With local shops, bus routes, and transport links just a short distance away, this property is ideally positioned for those who appreciate accessibility and convenience. Whether you're searching for a family home or a project that allows for personal touches, this bungalow stands out as an excellent investment opportunity.
