Description

This detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. While the home is currently well-maintained, its layout and spacious gardens are ripe for enhancement, offering an excellent foundation for future improvements. The welcoming entrance leads into a bright sitting room, featuring large dual-aspect windows that fill the space with natural light. The adjoining kitchen is functional and offers ample storage but could benefit from modern upgrades. The conservatory dining area overlooks the gardens, making it a perfect location to create an open-plan living space that maximizes the stunning countryside views. Both double bedrooms are comfortable, with the master bedroom showcasing original parquet flooring—an attractive feature that could be restored beautifully. Although the bathroom is modern, minor updates could enhance its appeal further. An exciting aspect of this bungalow is its loft space, which has existing windows and sufficient height; converting this area could yield additional living space subject to planning consent. Outside, the extensive driveway leads to an attached garage and offers plenty of parking options. The generous garden spaces surrounding the property present opportunities for landscaping or small-scale development of outdoor living areas. This charming bungalow not only promises peaceful rural living but also has great potential for those willing to invest time and resources into refurbishment.
