Description

This property presents a rare chance to acquire a detached two-bedroom bungalow set on approximately 4.57 acres of land, complete with outbuildings and a substantial barn. Located on the outskirts of Thornford, this site offers picturesque rural views and is ideal for those looking for a significant renovation or redevelopment project. The bungalow, which spans around 1,496 sq ft (138.9 sq m), is in poor condition and requires extensive refurbishment throughout, making it suitable for buyers seeking a comprehensive undertaking to transform it into their ideal home or investment space. The existing outbuildings provide further potential for repurposing or redevelopment opportunities, subject to securing the necessary planning permissions. This generous plot also opens avenues for smallholding or equestrian use, whilst still offering desirable privacy and countryside amenities. Please note that formal tender offers are being accepted until Tuesday, 14th July at 12 noon.
