About
This detached two bedroom bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a property with scope to modernise and add value, set within a desirable coastal location and offered to the market with no forward chain.
Occupying a generous plot, the bungalow enjoys an attractive position with coastal views from the front elevation, creating a real sense of space and outlook that is increasingly hard to find.
The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking, leading to a detached garage, offering both practicality and further potential for storage or conversion, subject to the usual consents.
Internally, the accommodation is well laid out and typical of this style of bungalow, with a central hallway giving access to all principal rooms.
The main lounge is a particularly good size and enjoys plenty of natural light, with sliding doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between inside and out.
This room offers excellent potential to be transformed into a bright and welcoming living space.
The kitchen is positioned to the side of the property and, while dated, provides a solid footprint for refurbishment or reconfiguration, with access out to the garden.
There are two bedrooms, both of which are well proportioned, along with a bathroom that would benefit from updating but offers a practical layout.
Externally, the rear garden is a generous size and offers a blank canvas for landscaping, extension or re-design, subject to the necessary permissions.
The overall plot and detached nature of the property provide excellent scope for buyers looking to improve, extend or personalise the home to their own taste.
The bungalow is being sold with no forward chain, making it an attractive proposition for those looking for a straightforward purchase.
With coastal views to the front, off-road parking, a detached garage and significant potential for modernisation, this is a rare opportunity to create a superb home in a sought-after setting.
