Description

This one-bedroom detached bungalow, located in a quiet cul-de-sac on Winterswyk Avenue, presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to create their ideal home. The property features a generous garden and ample off-street parking, making it an appealing choice for those seeking outdoor space. While the bungalow is conveniently situated near local shops, schools, and Smallgains playing fields, it does require some updating and tender loving care to reach its full potential. Inside, the accommodation includes a larger-than-average kitchen equipped with an oven, hob, and extractor fan, although these appliances have not been tested. The former garage has been converted into a useful store room, adding extra space to the property. It's important to note that the bungalow is marketed as a one-bedroom home and does not have planning permission for conversion into a two-bedroom property. Gas-fired heating is installed, but the system has not been checked or tested. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space and potential this bungalow offers.

Confidence: LOW

This one-bedroom detached bungalow on Winterswyk Avenue presents an interesting opportunity for someone looking to invest in a property that requires updating throughout. The general wear and dated interiors provide a blank canvas for improvements, with a larger-than-average kitchen and a good-sized garden that add to the appeal. Off-street parking is an added bonus, making this a practical choice for buyers.

While the property is priced at £225,000, the missing floor area means we can't currently judge its value against local £/sqf averages. However, the price reflects a potential starting point for renovation, with an estimated refurbishment budget of £30,000 to £50,000, giving you room to enhance the home significantly. It's worth noting that there is no planning permission for conversion into a two-bedroom property, but with a bit of vision, this bungalow can truly shine.

Key opportunities
