Description

This appealing double fronted detached bungalow, nestled within a quiet cul-de-sac, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and expansion. Positioned on a larger than average plot, this property holds significant potential for extension or reconfiguration (subject to the necessary planning permissions). The layout currently features an entrance hall flanked by two bright double bedrooms, both of which face the front garden, along with a conveniently placed bathroom. The spacious sitting room, enhanced by a charming fireplace, has been extended at the rear and opens up to a double-glazed conservatory – a brilliant foundation for further enhancement. The kitchen is adequately sized, equipped with built-in storage solutions and natural light from the rear window and side door. Outside, the property is set back from the cul-de-sac with a walled front yard that includes raised flower beds, complemented by wrought iron gates leading to an expansive driveway. An impressive carport provides undercover parking alongside a standalone garage. The south-facing rear garden features a raised patio area with a lawn beyond, bordered by decorative stone walls and ornamental ponds – all of which can be revitalized. Ideally located in Wantage, this bungalow not only offers proximity to essential amenities such as shops, cafés, schools, and public transport but also exudes period charm that can be preserved or modernized based on your vision.
