Description

This detached bungalow, constructed in the 1950s, presents a promising opportunity for renovation and expansion, particularly considering its generous plot size of approximately 0.23 acres and substantial loft space available for development (STPP). Located at the end of a quiet no-through road surrounded by larger homes, the property benefits from a tranquil setting near Mardley Woods, attracting local wildlife into its garden. Although the property is neutrally decorated and chain-free, it is in need of updating, especially in the bathroom area, while the kitchen remains unused. The current layout includes a central entrance hall, a bright lounge featuring a fireplace, two spacious double bedrooms, a dining area that could be converted into a third bedroom, and a bathroom. The rear garden extends about 131ft (40m) but currently requires attention to unlock its full potential as an exceptional outdoor space. The front of the property offers driveway parking and a brick-built detached garage, alongside landscaping opportunities to enhance its curb appeal. This location is ideal for those seeking proximity to nature with convenient access to local amenities in Oaklands and nearby villages like Knebworth and Welwyn.
