Set in the quiet hamlet of Liftondown, this three-bedroom detached bungalow sits on an exceptionally large plot and offers immediate, flexible occupancy. The single-level layout gives comfortable family living with a good-sized living room, practical kitchen, three bedrooms and one bathroom — straightforward and approachable for buyers wanting low-rise accommodation.
The standout feature is the detached triple garage (formerly Lifton Down Garage) fitted with inspection pits, air compressors, car ramps and an MOT-style rolling road. That building presents real potential for a home business, workshop, rental conversion or an annexe subject to planning consent. The plot and garage together create development or income possibilities that are rare for a bungalow in this location.
Practical facts: the property is freehold, chain-free and will be sold by Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note there is an obligatory Buyer Information Pack (£300 inc VAT) and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 inc VAT) payable on reservation during the 56-day reservation period. If you need mortgage finance, get lender advice and a full inspection before bidding.
Considerations include the building’s age (constructed c.1967–1975), oil-fired central heating and probable modernization needs to meet current standards. Any conversion or change of use for the garage requires planning permission. Broadband is fast and transport links are excellent via the nearby A30, while flood risk is low — making this a versatile rural property for a range of buyers.
