Description

This well-maintained detached bungalow sits on a generous plot of approximately 0.36 acres and offers ample parking along with a sizable 42-foot garage/workshop, making it an ideal investment opportunity. Originally built in the 1960s, this property has been lovingly occupied by the same family since its inception, showcasing its potential to be transformed into a modern family home, similar to other bungalows in the area that have undergone successful renovations (subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions). Located in proximity to St Ives Primary & Nursery School, which boasts an 'OUTSTANDING' rating from Ofsted, this property is also surrounded by beautiful heathland and woodland walks at Avon Heath Country Park and the Castleman Trail & Ringwood Forest. The accommodation consists of three spacious bedrooms served by a family bathroom and separate WC, alongside a formal dining room and a bright dual-aspect sitting room. A well-equipped kitchen pairs with an adjoining utility area and benefits from gas central heating. The outdoor space is primarily laid to lawn and offers privacy through a mix of fencing, trees, shrubs, and hedging. The extensive garage/workshop at the end of the drive includes insulation as well as power and light facilities; it presents opportunities for ancillary accommodation or an annexe (pending consent). The driveway accommodates plenty of vehicles and leads to both a carport and the rear garden, while the front grounds are neatly enclosed with hedging. This property not only provides a comfortable residence but also represents significant renovation prospects that can enhance both its aesthetic appeal and market value.
