Description
Offered at auction, this freehold bungalow occupies a long plot of approximately 0.53 acres in the Virginia Water area of Runnymede. The existing single-storey accommodation is about 1,068 sq ft and is described as requiring extensive refurbishment and clearance. The listing identifies scope to improve the property and explore extension or redevelopment options, subject to the necessary planning consents and verification of feasibility.
The accommodation comprises a kitchen/dining room, a large reception room, three bedrooms, a study that could serve as a fourth bedroom, a bathroom and a separate WC. The current layout may be adapted as part of a refurbishment project. Virginia Water station is approximately 1.2km away and Egham station around 2.3km away, with amenities available in both towns. The property is offered with vacant possession and a six-week completion period; auction terms, fees and the legal pack should be reviewed before bidding.

Confidence: MEDIUM
At a guide price of £470,000, Oakdale is priced below the local average per square foot, which gives a project buyer a relatively cheap entry point. The substantial freehold plot of around 0.53 acres and flexible bungalow layout are the standout canvas: there is scope to clear and rework the existing accommodation, improve the overgrown grounds and explore wider possibilities subject to planning. The kitchen and bathroom also offer clear opportunities for a more complete modernisation.
This is a heavy project rather than a cosmetic refresh: the interiors are cluttered and worn, and the plot needs substantial clearance. Although the guide looks attractive on a price-per-square-foot basis, purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks, so the value case depends on careful budgeting and what can be achieved. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The visible flat roof also warrants inspection.
Key opportunities
- Rework the flexible single-storey layout, including the study or possible fourth bedroom, as part of a whole-house improvement.
- Transform the approximately 0.53-acre plot through clearance and landscaping, with any extension or redevelopment scope subject to planning and feasibility.
- Replace or substantially refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a comprehensive modernisation.
Key risks
- Cluttered, worn interiors and extensive plot clearance make this a substantial programme; the £85,000–£145,000 works range needs careful budgeting and scheduling rather than a cosmetic-refresh allowance.
- The visible flat roof looks weathered and should be inspected; the photographs do not establish whether it is defective or leaking.
