Description

This three-bedroom detached bungalow, situated on an ample plot in a desirable village setting, presents a prime opportunity for renovation and investment. The property is offered with no onward chain and features considerable potential for expansion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. Upon entering, a double-glazed door leads into the entrance hall from which all rooms are accessible. The spacious lounge at the rear includes double-glazed French doors that open onto the garden, providing a light-filled space. The kitchen, also positioned at the rear, showcases modern cabinetry along with plumbing provisions for laundry appliances and an oil-fired central heating boiler (condition untested). The layout comprises three bedrooms, with bedrooms one and three located at the front of the home, while bedroom two is currently utilized as a dining area featuring a built-in storage cupboard. The bathroom includes essential fittings such as a panel bath with shower attachment, wash hand basin, and WC. Externally, the property sits on roughly 0.18 of an acre with a front lawn and driveway offering off-road parking for multiple vehicles leading to the garage. A side gate opens to the expansive rear garden that is primarily laid to lawn and includes an oil tank, garden shed, paved patio area, and an aluminum framed greenhouse—ideal for gardening enthusiasts. Positioned conveniently close to local amenities, including a primary school and store within the village, this bungalow enjoys easy access to city center facilities as well as coastal attractions like Mersea Island popular among water sports fans. A refurbishment of this property could significantly enhance its value while tailoring it to personal preferences or rental market demands.
