Description

This detached bungalow, constructed in the 1950s by the reputable Fortescue Builders, presents a rare investment opportunity as it comes to market for the first time in over six decades. Nestled on a substantial plot at the village's edge, it strikes a balance between peaceful countryside living and easy access to local amenities. The property boasts charming period features, including oak flooring throughout the reception areas and an inviting open fireplace. Though well-maintained, the interiors will benefit from modernization while preserving their character. The layout includes two generous double bedrooms, a dining room adjoining a spacious sitting room with large bay window, plus a functional kitchen equipped with modern appliances and additional utility space. With some structural improvement needed, particularly concerning the steep fixed stairs to the attic—previously utilized as versatile living space—the potential for expansion is significant (subject to planning permissions). Externally, there’s ample parking with a driveway leading to an attached garage and an expansive rear garden featuring mature trees. This property could become not only a comfortable home but also a valuable renovation project in this desirable location.
