Description

This detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a property with significant potential nestled in a tranquil countryside setting. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes and set on a substantial plot, the property offers a unique blend of privacy and space that must be seen to be fully appreciated. The extensive gardens wrap around the front, sides, and rear of the bungalow, enhancing its appeal and providing ample outdoor space. Originally formed from a former quarry, the plot stands out as one of the property's key features, creating a secluded environment. There is considerable scope for improvement, extension, or even more substantial redevelopment, all subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. Whether you envision modernizing the existing bungalow or expanding it into a larger family home, this property offers exciting possibilities. Internally, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a spacious lounge, a separate dining area, a kitchen, a conservatory, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate WC. Additionally, there is a garage and extra rooms below the property, providing further flexibility and utility. For those searching for a home with land, privacy, and immense potential in a truly special location, this bungalow represents an exceptional opportunity that is not to be missed.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached bungalow’s appeal is its substantial, established garden and peaceful countryside setting, with a driveway, garage and additional lower-level rooms adding flexibility. The main accommodation looks clean and usable, while the dated finishes offer a manageable cosmetic refresh: the older kitchen and bathroom, patterned carpets and traditional décor give a buyer clear scope to update the home without starting from a major internal overhaul. Renovation is estimated at £5,000–£12,000.

At £425,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet because the floor area is missing. The overall score is 51/100, grade D: a distinctive project with a strong plot and setting, but the available information does not yet establish its value or residual upside. The steep, rocky garden and retaining features deserve careful attention, and any extension or redevelopment would be subject to permissions and consents.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen, bathroom, carpets and traditional décor while retaining the clean, usable main accommodation.
  • Make the most of the substantial established garden, patio areas and private countryside setting; changes to the steep, rocky sections are optional.
  • Explore the listing’s stated scope for extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary permissions and consents.

Key risks

  • The steep, rocky ground, retaining walls and exposed rock need careful inspection.
  • Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
