Description

This detached bungalow, located on the desirable Melville Avenue, presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Available chain-free, this residence offers a chance to personalize and modernize according to your preferences. The front garden is complemented by a driveway leading to the garage, enhancing convenience right from the entrance porch that welcomes you into a spacious hall featuring built-in storage. A generously sized double bedroom at the front boasts natural light from an expansive bay window, alongside fitted wardrobes and a wash basin, while an adjoining shower room remains in good condition. The property includes an exceptionally spacious master bedroom with views over the secluded garden and two built-in wardrobes, paired with a well-sized family bathroom featuring both bath and separate shower facilities. The kitchen offers ample space with access to the outdoor areas and a pantry for additional storage. A separate dining room provides flexibility in layout options, while the large rear reception room captures natural light through its bay window overlooking the beautifully maintained garden. Additionally, a bright lean-to adds further light, accessible from both key living spaces. The mature rear garden offers privacy and serves as an ideal outdoor retreat with easy access via side gates. Located conveniently for families and commuters alike, you'll find excellent green spaces, reputable schools, local amenities, and transport links close at hand. Importantly, this property holds enormous potential throughout—its expansive loft could provide options for further development or reconfiguration (subject to planning permission). With flexible accommodation that invites redesigning of the interior layout, this bungalow represents a fantastic opportunity to create a custom home in this sought-after area.
