Description

This spacious semi-detached bungalow, located in a desirable village, presents a solid investment opportunity with ample potential for transformation. The layout comprises an entrance hall leading to a lounge, an open-plan kitchen/diner ideal for modernisation, a utility room, two bedrooms, and a family bathroom that could benefit from updates. The property features a generously sized garden mainly laid to lawn, providing lovely countryside views from both the front and rear. Additionally, it includes a single garage and off-road parking, enhancing the property's appeal. Offered with no upward chain, this home is situated within picturesque rural surroundings. Cowlinge is a charming village positioned less than 10 miles from Newmarket—a historic town famed for horse racing—and approximately 15 miles from Bury St Edmunds. With Cambridge just 20 miles away and excellent connectivity via the nearby A14 to London and A11 towards the east, commuting is convenient. Local train stations at Dullingham and Newmarket facilitate access to Cambridge with services taking under an hour into London. The village boasts rich history with notable buildings like the medieval Church of St. Margaret of Antioch and local amenities including a village hall and The Three Ways Country pub dating back to 1643. Wickhambrook nearby offers further local amenities while Newmarket presents a more comprehensive selection of shops and leisure facilities, anchoring this property's location as both practical and attractive for future improvement.
