Local area notes: ageing rural neighbourhood and higher-than-average crime levels
Set on approximately two acres in a semi-rural village, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a rare mix of residential comfort and business potential. The single-storey layout includes an open-plan kitchen/dining area, lounge, conservatory and a dedicated home office — practical for a small business or hobby workspace. A single bathroom serves the property. Triple glazing and mains gas central heating are in place.
The plot includes substantial outbuildings: a 67ft cattery with separate storage and office, piggery, carport, WC-equipped outbuilding and large hard-standing — useful for animal care, horticulture or other commercial uses (subject to necessary consents). The landscaped gardens, mature trees and private lawns give scope for further diversification or leisure use.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property dates from the 1930s–1940s and has cavity walls reported without insulation (assumed). There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and the local area is described as an ageing rural neighbourhood with higher crime levels. Council tax is moderate. These factors leave clear potential for refurbishment, energy-efficiency improvements and security upgrades, which many purchasers will factor into future plans.
For investors or those seeking a lifestyle business, the site presents an uncommon opportunity — large plot, existing animal-care buildings and a comfortable bungalow base. For buyers seeking a straightforward turn-key family home, the single bathroom and refurbishment needs should be considered alongside the property’s exceptional land and outbuilding assets.
