Description

Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Shotley Peninsula, this detached bungalow sits on a generous 1/3 acre plot with a desirable southerly aspect. With beautiful fields at the rear and proximity to the River Stour, the property offers both serenity and natural beauty. Currently configured as four bedrooms (one utilized as a study), this home presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and modernization. Notably, planning permission has been previously granted to expand and remodel into a five-bedroom detached bungalow, making it a prime investment option for those looking to enhance both living space and value. The layout features a comfortable sitting room overlooking the expansive rear garden, alongside a bespoke kitchen-dining area that could be updated to create an inviting family atmosphere. Essential amenities such as double-glazed windows and oil-fired central heating are already in place. The property's annexe provides additional versatility with two workshop areas and a shower room, which requires modern upgrades but holds potential for conversion into additional living or utility space. The external grounds include ample off-road parking, maintained gardens, and picturesque views of surrounding landscapes. This renovation project allows for creativity in reconstructing a family home that meets contemporary needs while retaining its charming country feel.
