Development opportunity: A particularly large 4 bedroom detached bungalow in need of complete modernisation and refurbishment, offering great potential for extension, subject to planning consent. The property is situated close to local amenities, on a private half acre site with a long driveway.
Traditionally built in the 1960s, with Purbeck stone elevations, a concrete tiled roof and a stone chimney, the property has gas central heating and UPVC double glazing, and is connected to all mains services. The original double garage has been incorporated into the bungalow, and there are 4 other garages on the site, which is in need of landscaping, and enclosed by high hedges, offering privacy.
A wide covered entrance way with a stone floor leads to a large entrance hallway. The lounge has a floor-to-ceiling Purbeck stone open fireplace with wood burning stove, wall light points, and UPVC double glazed sliding doors to a conservatory with a high gabled glass roof, a pair of double glazed doors to outside, and a superb view over the garden. There is a large kitchen/breakfast room with original units, stainless steel sink, leather look work surfaces, 4-burner gas hob, UPVC double glazed door to outside, and a view of the garden. Bedroom 1, the former integral double garage, overlooks the driveway and garaging. Bedroom 2 is a double room overlooking the driveway, with fitted cupboards, and bedroom 3 is a double room with fitted cupboards overlooking the rear boundary. Bedroom 4 is a large double room to the rear, with built-in and fitted cupboards, and an en suite shower room (with large shower cubicle, wash basin, WC and door to the garage.) The family bathroom has a dark blue bath, tiled shower, wash basin and WC.
Metal electric gates give access to a long tarmac driveway (flanked by high laurel hedges) leading into a tarmac and gravel courtyard. There is an attached single garage/workshop with electric light, a large detached double garage (with 2 up-and-over doors to the front, electric roller door to the rear, and personal door), and a further large detached garage, largely of timber construction, with electric roller door, personal door, light and power. Between the two garages there is a large concrete base ideal for boat/caravan storage.
The gardens, which are currently overgrown, are well stocked with trees and shrubs (including birch, eucalyptus, conifers and hydrangea), and enclosed by tall conifers. There is a large lawn. There is a paved patio outside the conservatory. Further outbuildings include a large workshop, a chalet, an open-fronted storage area, several sheds and a greenhouse.
