Description

This property presents a compelling opportunity for builders and investors alike. Currently facing recent water damage, it is well-suited for refurbishment, extension, or even complete redevelopment (subject to planning permission). Nestled towards the end of a secluded track within the picturesque woodlands of Upper Bucklebury, this single-storey dwelling looks modest from the front, yet offers significant potential to enhance its footprint from the rear. The layout includes an entrance hall, living room with a balcony overlooking the expansive rear gardens, a master bedroom with a Jack and Jill ensuite bathroom, and a second bedroom on the ground floor. A spiral staircase leads to a lower ground level that features a dining room, kitchen with utility space and pantry store, an additional bedroom or study, cloakroom, snug area, and workshop. Outside, the property boasts a double garage and off-road parking for two vehicles along with generous gardens covering just under 1/3 of an acre. With no onward chain, this property could be transformed into your ideal retreat in one of West Berkshire’s most desirable locations.
