Description

This four-bedroom detached bungalow presents a substantial opportunity for renovation and investment. Located in Cressing, the property is set on a generously sized plot with good access to transport links and local amenities. Inside, the layout features an entrance hallway that connects to a spacious lounge, a functional kitchen equipped with essential appliances, four well-sized bedrooms, and a bathroom. While the property boasts double glazing, a large driveway, and a rear garden backing onto open fields, it requires extensive refurbishment throughout to unlock its full potential.

The garden offers low maintenance with areas suitable for outdoor seating and access to the fields beyond. This property's versatility and prime location make it ideal for those eager to invest in a project that offers both immediate livability and long-term value.
