Description

This detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a promising canvas for those keen on modernizing a property in a sought-after coastal area. The home is situated on a generous plot that allows for considerable potential for enhancements, including the possibility of extending or reconfiguring the existing layout, subject to necessary approvals. The bungalow features captivating coastal views from the front, while the driveway provides convenient off-road parking and leads to a detached garage that can serve as additional storage or be transformed for other uses. Internally, the bungalow's design follows a classic layout typical of its era. A central hallway grants access to all key living areas. The spacious lounge benefits from ample natural light and opens through sliding doors onto the rear garden, enhancing connectivity between indoor and outdoor spaces—ideal for creating an inviting living environment. The kitchen, while somewhat outdated, offers an excellent opportunity for refurbishment or redesign with direct access to the garden. Both bedrooms are generously sized and would benefit from modernization alongside an update to the bathroom, which retains a practical layout despite its dated appearance. Outside, the expansive rear garden stands as a blank slate ready for landscaping or reimagining into personal outdoor space. This property presents an attractive option without forward chain complications, making it especially appealing to buyers looking for a straightforward purchase poised with extensive renovation possibilities in this charming seaside locale.
