Set on a substantial roadside plot in sought-after Bricket Wood, this detached chalet-style bungalow offers versatile family living across approximately 1,554 sq ft. Five bedrooms and two bathrooms provide space for multi‑generational households or flexible home‑office layouts, while a conservatory and reception room open to the mature rear garden for everyday family life and entertaining.
The house benefits from generous off‑street parking, a brick-built garage, and a multi‑fuel stove that adds rustic character and alternative heating. There is clear scope to increase living space subject to planning permission (STPP), making this an appealing option for buyers seeking long‑term value and expansion potential.
The property does require updating in places: parts of the house are dated and the walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, so energy efficiency improvements and general modernisation would be needed. Council tax is high and the glazing install date is unknown, factors buyers should budget for when considering running costs and improvement works.
Positioned close to local amenities, good road links and highly regarded schools, the bungalow suits families wanting a roomy home with development upside in an affluent suburb. Buyers attracted to character accommodation who are prepared to carry out sympathetic refurbishment will find strong potential here.
