About
This property has been owned by the same family for over 60 years and is one of the last homes in the area that has not been modified.
This emphasizes what a unique buying opportunity this is and a chance for new owners to invest and create their forever home.
The property was built in 1955 by a highly regarded local builder, Alec Garner and it has been much loved ever since.
When compared to modern standards, it is now somewhat dated but this creates enormous and exciting scope to modernize and enhance.
There is also, subject to planning, the potential to extend the house, as has been the case with many similar nearby properties.
The property enjoys a prime position, slightly elevated from the lane and set in mature gardens. There is ample off road parking and a detached brick built garage.
Inside, there are two living rooms, a kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The rooms in this bungalow are notable for having high ceilings and the nature of it's constructions means that the loft is an large space, ideal for storage and ripe for conversion, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents and building regulation approval.
