Set in one of Farmborough’s most private closes, this detached three‑bed bungalow sits on an unusually large plot approaching half an acre, with mature front borders, productive vegetable beds and a wooded strip that gives real seclusion. The long driveway and detached garage provide generous parking for several cars — a rare convenience for village locations. The property is chain free and offered as a probate sale.
Inside, original mid‑century character shows well: wide hall, expansive L‑shaped living/dining room with large windows and hardwood floors, plus a conservatory overlooking the gardens. The extended kitchen/diner and good‑size principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes give practical family living now. There is scope to add an en‑suite to the main bedroom and the partly boarded loft could offer further potential (subject to consents).
Practical matters are straightforward: the bungalow is freehold, on a private road with a resident-run service charge of £75 pa, and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. The plot and layout will particularly suit buyers who prioritise outside space, privacy and single‑level living in a well‑served village with an outstanding primary school.
Buyers should note a few important considerations: there is a single family bathroom only, the EPC rating is E, and the house will be sold via probate with the title in the process of registration — paperwork and timing should be clarified before offer. The interior is tidy but dated in places, so modest updating and modernisation will likely be needed to maximise value.
