Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac within the sought-after Hangleton area, this three-bedroom detached bungalow presents an impressive footprint of approximately 1,739 sq ft, including a sizable detached games room and garage. While the main living area spans 1,098 sq ft and boasts generous dimensions such as a living room with an exposed brick fireplace that leads to a dining area with patio doors opening to a west-facing garden, there is also significant potential for renovation and reconfiguration. The current kitchen features solid wood worktops and quality finishes but offers opportunities for modernisation or the creation of an open-plan kitchen-family room layout. The ground floor accommodates two spacious double bedrooms served by a well-maintained shower room and separate WC, while an additional large bedroom on the first floor could serve as a principal suite or home office. A standout feature is the expansive detached games room measuring 9.62m x 7.42m, presenting versatile usage options as either a studio, gym, or entertainment space—subject to planning permissions. The property’s private off-road parking and attached garage enhance its appeal. The west-facing rear garden is another highlight, offering ample space for potential extensions without compromising outdoor enjoyment. With easy access to local amenities, schools, and commuter routes to Brighton & Hove city centre, this bungalow represents not just a comfortable family home but also a substantial investment opportunity with exciting scope for expansion (subject to necessary consents). No onward chain further underlines its immediate availability for prospective buyers.
