Description

This bungalow offers a significant opportunity for buyers seeking a renovation project within a sought-after residential locale. With ample potential for modernization and reconfiguration, it is an excellent candidate for those looking to tailor their living space or invest in property enhancement. Positioned away from the street, the property includes a driveway and front garden, with the possibility to expand parking capacity to accommodate additional vehicles. The existing carport and single brick-built garage further increase options for development or transformation. Inside, a side entrance leads directly into the kitchen, which is primed for a complete overhaul, allowing for modern design choices or alterations to create an open-plan layout. The hallway connects to the spacious rear living room that boasts generous natural light and patio doors opening onto the mature garden—perfect for those who value outdoor views. The interior comprises two sizable bedrooms along with an adaptable box room that can be repurposed as desired. Many might consider merging this box room with one of the bedrooms, creating a larger primary suite with additional space for either storage or work-from-home needs. Alternatively, there's scope to convert the box room into a new bathroom or ensuite (pending planning approval), which could transform the current shower room into an extra bedroom. Notably, there is also a wet room designed for disabled access that can be modified according to personal requirements. The rear garden adds another layer of appeal; it features established greenery and lawned areas while providing privacy—a standout feature of this property. Given its flexible layout and spacious plot, this bungalow represents an attractive option for those seeking a renovation opportunity in a desirable area. A viewing is highly encouraged to fully appreciate its potential.
