About
Number 79 Golden Farm Road is a unique opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow located in a secluded and attractive setting on the edge of Cirencester town within walking distance of a range of facilities and amenities.
The property is of timber construction and as such must be purchased by a cash buyer with no mortgage, the property offers light and well proportioned living space with the benefit of a gas fired central heating system, fitted kitchen and well appointed family bathroom.
The outstanding feature of the bungalow is the size and sunny orientation of the plot with a large and private south-westerly facing gardens to the front and a side all fully enclosed and benefiting from a driveway via a five bar gate off Golden Farm road.
This property offers a great opportunity (subject to planning consent) for purchasers to create a much larger family home as many people have already done within the area.
Bungalows on the edge of Cirencester town are so rare especially those offering the scope for extension that this property does, we would urge early viewing through Cain & Fuller the vendors sole agent.
