Description

This two-bedroom detached bungalow is located on a highly sought-after residential road in Clayhall, presenting a unique opportunity for those looking to craft their dream home. While the property requires some updating throughout, it offers excellent potential for extension and further enhancement, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

On the ground floor, a generous open-plan living space creates a bright and inviting area perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Additionally, there is a separate reception room that could serve as a second bedroom, along with a kitchen and a practical utility room that grants access to a convenient ground floor WC. Externally, the property boasts a good-sized frontage with off-street parking for up to two cars and an attached garage. The impressive rear garden extends over 80 feet in length, offering an expansive outdoor space with further potential for those interested in extending or enhancing the property. This is a rare chance to acquire a detached bungalow in a desirable Clayhall location, combining a substantial garden, garage, parking, and the scope to create a bespoke family home. The property is offered chain-free.

Confidence: LOW

This detached bungalow in Clayhall offers a canvas for renovation, with a guide price of £500,000 that suggests a moderate entry point for potential buyers. While the property showcases dated interiors and signs of wear, particularly in the living areas and kitchen, it presents a solid opportunity for someone looking to invest in a project that can be transformed into a bespoke family home. The generous garden and off-street parking add to the appeal, providing further scope for extension and enhancement, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The internal layout features a uniquely positioned master bedroom with an en-suite on the upper floor, adding a degree of privacy not commonly found in bungalows. Although the overall condition indicates a medium refurbishment scale with an estimated renovation budget between £40,000 and £80,000, the potential for improvement is significant. With creativity and effort, this property could evolve into a wonderful living space in a desirable location.
