Set on an exceptionally large plot of around 0.4 acres, this two double-bedroom detached bungalow sits adjacent to open countryside in a very sought-after Honley location. The existing single-storey footprint offers immediate single-level living, private mature gardens and a long driveway that leads to an integral garage. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to local amenities and a rail link add everyday convenience.
Crucially, planning permission has been granted to double the property both up and out (application 2025/62/91786/W), creating significant development upside for a buyer looking to extend or reconfigure. The plot and permission make this particularly interesting for someone seeking larger family accommodation or a redevelopment project subject to the consented plans.
The house is offered in need of modernisation. Internal fittings and finishes are dated, walls are cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed), and windows are secondary glazed — upgrade work will be required to improve energy efficiency and modern comfort. Council tax is above average, and prospective purchasers should allow budget for renovation and potential insulation or re-wiring work.
Overall this property will suit downsizers who prize single-storey living with generous outdoor space, or buyers and investors attracted to the clear extension potential and large plot. The setting, plot size and consented scheme present an excellent opportunity, provided the new owner is prepared to undertake or commission the necessary modernisation and improvement works.
