Description

This detached bungalow presents a rare chance to invest in a sizable project, set within approximately 4.57 acres of land and accompanied by several outbuildings, including a significant barn. Located on the outskirts of Thornford, the property offers expansive views over the surrounding countryside but is currently in a dilapidated state requiring thorough renovation. The bungalow, spanning around 1,496 sq ft (138.9 sq m), features two bedrooms and various living spaces such as a sitting room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, utility room, and bathroom facilities. While its layout provides some flexibility for design alterations, potential buyers should be prepared for a complete overhaul of both the interior and exterior to unlock the property's full value. The vast grounds not only provide ample space for redevelopment but also allow for diverse uses such as smallholding or equestrian purposes, making this an attractive opportunity for those looking to create their ideal rural retreat or investment.
