Description

This spacious four-bedroom detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Spanning over 1,300 square feet, the single-level layout is well-suited for those seeking to customize a home to their tastes or capitalize on its potential. The property is quietly situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, providing a peaceful environment while also featuring off-road parking for three vehicles and a garage equipped with power. The interior boasts four generously sized bedrooms, complemented by a large lounge and dining area that enjoys dual aspects overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room offers ample space for essential appliances and casual dining, making it a functional heart of the home. Additionally, there is a bathroom fitted with both bath and shower facilities, along with a separate WC for convenience. Set on an expansive wedge-shaped plot that widens toward the back, this property holds excellent potential for future extensions or alterations (subject to planning permission), allowing new owners to significantly enhance its value. The fully enclosed rear garden offers privacy and scope for landscaping or outdoor improvements. Located just moments from Lytchett Bay Nature Reserve, residents can take advantage of an array of outdoor activities in close proximity. Upton Country Park is less than a mile away, providing further opportunities for recreation and leisure. Despite its tranquil setting, this bungalow is conveniently less than three miles from Poole Town Centre, which hosts various shops, restaurants, transport links, and parks. With gas central heating and double glazing throughout, this property combines comfort with promising investment potential. The absence of forward chain adds to its appeal as a suitable choice for both homeowners and investors looking to make their mark in this desirable location.
