Set on a large corner plot in Owton Manor Lane, this detached 1930s-style bungalow offers substantial scope for someone wanting space and improvement potential. The house provides generous reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, wet room, and loft room accessed via a spiral staircase — useful for occasional use or conversion to create extra sleeping space. A wide carriage-style driveway and mature gardens give plenty of outdoor space and parking.
The property is offered for sale by Modern Auction, freehold and with no onward chain, so it will suit buyers ready to move quickly. There is clear potential to modernise and personalise throughout: updating finishes, bathrooms and heating could significantly increase comfort and value. The rear land has previously been explored for a possible split and the vendor has drawings available; any development would require planning consent.
Buyers should note the sale route and costs: auction terms apply, there is an undisclosed reserve price, buyer fees and a non-refundable reservation fee. The bungalow also needs general modernisation and likely energy upgrades (cavity walls assumed without insulation). The area shows higher deprivation indicators and average local crime statistics, so consider wider neighbourhood factors when valuing the long-term investment.
This property will appeal to families seeking ground-floor living with expansion potential, investors comfortable with auction purchase processes, or buyers wanting a project on a generous plot. With planning and refurbishment, the bungalow offers a rare chance to add significant value and create a tailored long-term home.
