Description

Nestled in the desirable village of Birdham, this 1930s three-bedroom detached house presents an exciting canvas for renovation and expansion. With existing planning permission for a two-storey rear extension, you have the opportunity to transform this property into a spacious contemporary family home. The approved plans include enlarging the upper floor with larger bedrooms and an en-suite bathroom, while creating an expansive open-plan kitchen/sitting room along with a utility area and a separate family room on the ground floor. Upon entering, you'll find a welcoming hallway that seamlessly connects to both the front-facing sitting room and the rear dining room, enhancing the property's flow. The adjoining kitchen offers ample space ripe for modernisation, catering to today’s family needs. An inner lobby provides additional storage options and leads to practical utility facilities, complemented by a cloakroom. Upstairs features three bedrooms equipped with built-in storage, served by a family bathroom that also requires updating. While the existing planning permissions allow for significant enhancements to living spaces, those looking for a lighter project can still consider modest updates without undertaking any extensions. Externally, the property benefits from a fully enclosed plot with a neatly maintained rear garden—a private retreat ideal for children or pets. There is also off-road parking available for several vehicles. The home is heated by oil-fired central heating and boasts the appealing characteristics typical of its 1930s architecture—providing a solid base from which to create your dream family residence. This property is an excellent prospect for buyers eager to invest in transformation within this beautiful coastal village. Birdham offers stunning natural surroundings and is conveniently located near local amenities including Birdham Pool Marina, Village Hall events, shops like Nisa, and upcoming Waitrose mini store. Nearby East Wittering village and Chichester cater to broader shopping needs and social activities.
