Description

Ingle Oak, a two-bedroom detached bungalow built in the 1950s by reputable local builders, is on the market for the first time in over six decades. Nestled at the edge of scenic countryside yet conveniently close to village amenities, this property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. It boasts charming period details like oak floors throughout, an open fireplace, and internal oak doors that add character. The front features triple-glazed leaded windows, while the rear has double glazing. Despite being well-maintained with gas central heating, there are areas where modern updates could enhance functionality and aesthetics. The spacious layout includes a welcoming entrance porch leading into a hall, a good-sized sitting room with a bay window, an archway to the dining room, and a kitchen equipped with an oven/hob and ample space for breakfast dining. A utility room, WC, boot room, and a modern bathroom with double shower complement the two generous double bedrooms. A notable feature is the attic space which has been utilized as an additional bedroom or study; however, it requires attention due to its steep access not meeting current safety regulations. Planning potential exists for further extensions or conversions to maximize living space. Outdoors offers considerable appeal with a large garage and driveway accommodating multiple vehicles. The front garden is well-kept with hedging and an impressive old oak tree amongst mature planting in the sizable rear garden that also features extensive patio space. This property is being sold chain-free and represents an exciting project for those looking to make their mark on a classic bungalow in a desirable location.
