About
Situated on the ever-popular Dunnicliffe Lane in Melbourne, this spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
Offered to the market with no upward chain, the property provides well-proportioned accommodation throughout and is ideal for those seeking a renovation project in a highly desirable village location.
The accommodation begins with an enclosed entrance porch, providing a practical welcome to the home before leading into the central entrance hall, which offers access to all principal rooms.
The generous lounge/dining room is a bright and versatile living space, with ample room for both comfortable seating and formal dining, making it perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike.
The breakfast kitchen offers plenty of potential for modernisation and redesign, providing an excellent footprint for buyers wishing to create a contemporary family kitchen with space for informal dining.
The bungalow further benefits from three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles, whether used as comfortable sleeping accommodation, a home office or hobby room.
Completing the internal accommodation is a family bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite.
Whilst the property would benefit from a programme of cosmetic improvement and modernisation, it offers tremendous scope for an incoming purchaser to enhance and personalise the accommodation, creating a home to suit their individual style and needs.
With its generous layout and excellent plot, the bungalow represents an exciting opportunity for both owner-occupiers and those looking for a rewarding renovation project.
Externally, the property enjoys mature and well-established gardens to both the front and rear, offering a pleasant outdoor environment with an abundance of shrubs, planting and lawned areas.
The rear garden provides a private setting with excellent potential for landscaping or extending outdoor entertaining space, subject to any necessary consents.
To the side of the property is a driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles, together with a covered carport offering additional sheltered parking or useful storage space.
Further benefits include gas central heating and uPVC double glazed windows and doors, ensuring the property already enjoys a number of practical modern conveniences.
