Dereham Road, Mattishall, Dereham, NR20 3NU

Summary A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious detached bungalow that is offered to the market for the first time since it was built in 1961.

Set on a generous South facing plot of almost a fifth of an acre, the property provides a blank canvas to allow for complete modernisation.

Possibilities include remodelling the existing layout to open-plan living or to extend to the front or rear of the property, a loft conversion or double storey (subject to all usual planning consents.) Inside The property has a porch and hallway that leads to a bright and spacious lounge with fireplace, and there are two large double bedrooms, a conservatory, bathroom and a light and airy kitchen/breakfast room with integrated pantry and cupboards with access to the back garden.

There is a further storage cupboard in the hallway.

The loft has high-pitched eaves offering the potential for conversion to bedrooms or storage and the property is in need of updating throughout but boasts huge potential for prospective buyers to put their own creative stamp on it.

Outside The property is approached by a long hard standing driveway, which provides off road parking for multiple vehicles and access to the garage.

The remainder of the front is laid to shingle which could provide extensive further off road parking or be restored to its original expansive lawn.

There is access to the rear garden through gates on both sides of the property.

Laid predominately to lawn, stepping through to the rear garden, you will immediately appreciate the scope to extend whilst still being able to maintain a generous sized garden.

There is a mature apple tree as well as a small pond and greenhouse. The garden is situated in an optimum South facing position and provides the opportunity to create complete seclusion.

Garage The tandem garage can accommodate two cars and has an integrated pit for optional use.

With power, lighting, and a window overlooking the rear garden and to the side aspect, there is a door opening to the conservatory and a roller door to the front.

Given it's size, the garage provides an abundance of storage opportunities or the prospect to incorporate the existing garage floor space into the property through remodelling.
