Set on a very large, private plot in the quiet hamlet of Bettisfield, this extended three-bedroom detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain. The single-storey layout has been recently renovated and provides fully accessible living throughout, including a modern open-plan kitchen/diner, conservatory and a living room with a wood burner. Bedroom 3 benefits from a private ensuite, and the south-west facing garden captures evening sun and uninterrupted countryside views.
Practical updates include new rainwater and sewage soakaways (March 2025) and a septic tank inspection confirming compliance — no immediate expensive drainage upgrades required. The property was extended in 2019 and sits adjacent to protected natural areas and canal towpaths, ideal for buyers who prioritise outdoor lifestyle and long-term preservation of the surrounding views.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler (not connected to a community system), broadband speeds are slow, and the property is in a remoter, very deprived area which may affect resale dynamics. There is lapsed outline planning permission for an additional dwelling, which indicates potential but would require fresh applications. Council Tax band E applies.
This bungalow will suit a downsizer or anyone seeking a peaceful rural home with generous outdoor space and easy ground-floor living. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the plot, accessibility and the rural setting close to Whitchurch amenities and transport links.
