Large four-bedroom bungalow with pond, garage and solar — scope to modernise..
Detached single-storey residence on a mature, private plot with spring-fed pond
Set back from The Green in Weston Colville, this roomy four-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a mature, private plot with a spring-fed pond and broad gravel driveway. The single-storey accommodation (with a loft bedroom) offers flexible reception space — sitting room, dining room, family room, study and a large kitchen/breakfast room — ready for a sympathetic scheme to bring it up to modern standards. Solar panels with a battery and an air-source heat pump reduce running costs, and the property is offered chain free.
The house preserves character features such as coved ceilings, panelled doors and an electric fireplace, while built-in wardrobes and extensive eaves storage add practical storage. Gardens are extensive and private, with lawn, mature beds and paved entertaining terraces directly off the living areas. A garage/workshop with power and lighting and abundant parking complete the plot.
Important practical points: the house needs updating and sympathetic improvement throughout — buyers should expect renovation work, modern insulation and services clarification. The construction is solid brick with no known cavity insulation; there is an oil-fired boiler in a utility/boiler room alongside the electric heating systems, so heating/fuel arrangements may require consolidation. The pond and spring are attractive but need ongoing maintenance and care.
This will suit buyers looking for a substantial family home in a peaceful village setting or someone seeking a character bungalow with scope to modernise. With excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and nearby good schools, the property offers a rare combination of space and privacy, but best fits buyers prepared to invest in updating and energy-efficiency improvements.
