This detached bungalow presents an amazing opportunity, with a huge amount of potential. Occupying a substantial corner plot, the property provides fantastic scope and a myriad of options. The new owner can choose to extend the existing footprint of accommodation or erect outbuildings and additional garaging. The sizeable corner plot gardens will also appeal to green-fingered purchasers, providing the opportunity for landscaping and creating fantastic outdoor spaces. The property itself requires modernisation throughout, allowing the new owner to put their own stamp on the bungalow and turn their vision into reality.
Approaching the property, a tarmacadam driveway greets you, and is gated before the garage. It can accommodate approximately two to three vehicles, with the potential to enlarge the driveway by utilising some of the corner plot if desired. The front of the attached single garage features a roller shutter door, providing easy access, while the rear has an up and over door. The garage is equipped with power and lighting.
As you enter the bungalow, a glazed porch leads you to the kitchen through a sliding internal door.
The kitchen, in need of refurbishment, offers a blank canvas and plenty of potential. It is spacious enough to accommodate a table and chairs and can be made open plan with the adjoining living room if desired. The kitchen includes matching wall and base units, work surfaces with an inset sink drainer, and ample space for various appliances. Additionally, a side door provides access from the driveway, and an internal door leads to the living room.
Situated to the front of the property is a spacious living room, enjoying a pleasant outlook across the green space opposite. This room features a picture window and a brick fireplace that currently houses an electric stove.
Continuing from the living room, a door leads to the inner hallway, granting access to the bedrooms and bathroom. The inner hallway boasts a large storage cupboard and airing cupboard.
Both bedrooms are double rooms, offering views of the rear garden.
The bathroom requires replacement and currently features a pedestal washbasin, a low-level WC, and a panelled bath with a shower screen.
Gardens and grounds
The property's large corner plot gardens are a standout feature. They wraparound the bungalow on several sides, providing a wealth of potential. To the side of the bungalow, a large section of sweeping lawn is nicely enclosed and secluded by mature hedging. At the rear of the property, there is a sizable flat area of garden. The garden benefits from a sunny west-facing orientation and comprises a lawn with mature fruit trees. This private and tranquil garden is enclosed by wooden panelled fencing.
Agent's note
The black discolouration on the walls and ceilings in the living room and kitchen was caused by an electric fire emitting soot. It is not the result of dampness or a blaze inside the bungalow.
The property has mains electricity, water and drainage. The mains gas at the property has been disconnected; it was previously connected to the property.
