Spacious detached bungalow on a substantial west‑facing plot with garage and development potential.
Detached 1930s character bungalow on a large west‑backing plot
Set back on a wide road frontage, this detached 1930s character bungalow sits on a substantial west‑facing plot of approximately 45' x 60'. The house offers comfortable, well‑presented accommodation throughout, with a large lounge/diner, generous kitchen/breakfast room and two good‑size bedrooms — all benefitting from full UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. The mature cottage garden and larger than average detached garage add useful outdoor and storage space for family life.
The property’s principal strength is the plot: the sweeping in‑and‑out driveway provides ample off‑street parking and the gardens are private and sunny. There is clear potential to extend or redevelop (subject to planning, STPP), making this appealing to buyers seeking extra space, a ground‑floor living solution or a redevelopment project in a very affluent, low‑crime area close to Chalkwell Park and highly regarded schools.
The bungalow is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, so a purchaser could move quickly. Practical points to note: the house sits on solid brick walls (likely with little or no cavity insulation) and was constructed mid‑20th century, so buyers should expect typical maintenance, possible modernisation and that any major alterations would require planning consent. The single large bathroom services the property, and room for internal reconfiguration exists if more bathrooms or open‑plan living are required.
This home will suit families wanting a spacious, single‑storey base with garden room to grow, downsizers seeking generous outdoor space, or investors/developers attracted by the plot and STPP potential. A viewing will best reveal the scale and character retained in the interiors and the scope the plot offers for extension or remodelling.
