A Rare Opportunity With Lapsed Planning Permission, A Charming Detached Bungalow on a Large Private Plot With Mature Gardens & Excellent Scope to Modernise, Extend, or Replace With a Substantial New Home (STPP).
Set in a peaceful and private position within the heart of the village, this attractive detached two-bedroom bungalow occupies a generous plot with expansive front and rear gardens framed by mature trees and established hedging. Tucked well back from the road, it is approached via a long driveway providing ample parking and a strong sense of privacy. Inside, a welcoming hallway connects each of the principal rooms. To the right lies the main living room, a bright dual-aspect space with sliding doors opening to the rear terrace and garden, creating a seamless link between indoor and outdoor living. At the front sits a versatile office/family room or bedroom three, featuring a bay window and open fireplace, offering flexibility for work, relaxation, or guest accommodation. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and features solid wood sage green cabinetry, tiled splash backs, and integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, induction hob, double oven, and dishwasher. A door leads to a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both light and airy.
The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with fitted wardrobes and garden views, while the second bedroom is also spacious. The family bathroom includes a bath, separate power shower, toilet, and heated towel rail. Externally, the grounds are a particular feature, with a lawned front garden and a generous, private rear garden offering a broad expanse of lawn with well-stocked beds and established planting. To one side stands a detached outbuilding incorporating a garage, side storage area, and additional storeroom with cloakroom. The property offers excellent potential for modernisation or redevelopment. Notably, previous planning consent (now lapsed 1 June 2025) allowed for an approximately 3,135 Sq Ft / 291 Sq M Family home (including garage) within the grounds, offering renewed scope for future buyers to explore similar opportunities, subject to permissions.
