Description

This detached Barclay-style bungalow offers a promising opportunity for renovation in a desirable area of Southwick, located near the scenic South Downs. While the property is currently liveable, it requires general modernisation, presenting a blank canvas for those looking to invest in a home tailored to their preferences. The flexible layout spans two floors with three to four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The generous living space features a bright L-shaped design with an inviting dining room, which can be easily transformed back into a fourth bedroom if needed, catering well to growing families. The property includes a long garage/workshop of approximately 29ft that could serve as an ideal workspace or be converted into an annex for additional living space—subject to necessary planning consents. Recent improvements, such as newly relayed flat roofs on both the garage and dormer, suggest updates have already begun. Internally, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall leading to various rooms including a main reception area boasting bay windows that flood the space with natural light. The rear-facing kitchen remains functional and provides access to a conservatory that overlooks the garden—a perfect informal gathering space. Ground floor accommodation also features a study and the main bedroom with garden views. Upstairs reveals two additional good-sized bedrooms with fitted wardrobes served by a shower room, offering potential for further development into larger sleeping quarters or storage spaces. Outside, the secluded garden is well-established with mature shrubs and trees providing privacy along with multiple seating areas for relaxation under the sun. The large garage's flexible design holds great potential for various uses—from car maintenance to hobbyist workspaces—enhanced by easy external access. With no onward chain and plenty of scope for extension (STNC), this property is an excellent investment for families seeking growth potential in both living capacity and local amenities. Its proximity to schools, parks, shops, and transport links adds to its appeal as an ideal family home or investment project.
