2 bedroom Bungalow (Sold)

Overall Description

This detached bungalow sits in a sought-after location within the popular Oaklands/Mardleywood hamlet, and is in need of complete modernisation but offers buyers considerable potential to create a much larger detached home - as others have in the immediate vicinity - subject to the usual consents. The property currently has an entrance hall, two receptions, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom but there is scope to extend to the rear and into the loft to add more bedrooms and living space and to reconfigure the layout, probably moving the kitchen/dining room to the back opening out into the garden - again subject to permission. The plot is substantial (approx 0.22 acres), certainly justifies a much larger property, and it already has a private driveway and detached garage.
