Description

This substantial detached bungalow presents a unique development opportunity, featuring an expansive rear garden of approximately 120 feet. The property is situated in a highly sought-after residential area, making it ideal for families. Royston Way is well-regarded for its proximity to several reputable primary schools and the prestigious Burnham Grammar School, located just half a mile away. The area benefits from excellent transport links, with Burnham train station (Elizabeth Line) conveniently close by, as well as easy access to the M4 and M40 motorways. The property has potential for further development, subject to planning permission, with access at the rear that could allow for a building plot. The surrounding community offers an abundance of amenities, including leisure facilities, notable golf courses, and various sports clubs. Additionally, the picturesque River Thames, Jubilee River, and Dorney Lake are all within a two-mile radius, enhancing the appeal of this location. With good mobile signal for 5G and a solid brick construction topped with a slate roof, this home is ready for its next chapter. The existing planning permission for the erection of a detached dwelling and new vehicle entrance adds further value to this already promising investment.

Confidence: LOW

This detached bungalow presents a significant renovation opportunity, featuring a large rear garden of approximately 120ft that could be reimagined into a beautiful outdoor space. The property is situated in a desirable area, close to excellent local amenities and schools, making it a potentially lucrative investment for families or developers looking to enhance its value. The dated interiors and general wear visible throughout the living areas provide a blank canvas for a thoughtful refurbishment, allowing new owners to inject their style and vision into the property.

While the asking price of £600,000 is a good starting point for this project, it's important to note that the floor area is missing, so its value versus local £/sqf cannot be fully assessed at this time. The renovation budget is estimated between £100,000 and £150,000, which indicates a comprehensive overhaul is necessary to bring this home up to modern standards. However, the existing layout and character of the property can be transformed into a stunning family home with strategic improvements.

Key opportunities

  • Transform dated interiors into a modern living space that reflects personal style.
  • Leverage the large garden space for outdoor enhancements or potential development (subject to planning).
  • Capitalize on the property's proximity to highly regarded schools and transport links to attract family buyers.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget indicate this will be a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
