Set on a generous 0.35-acre plot on the edge of Bretby village, this substantial four-bedroom detached bungalow offers 2,350 sq.ft. of living space and genuine scope to create a large, comfortable home. The principal ground-floor accommodation includes a large sitting room with sliding doors and fireplace, a separate dining room, study, fitted breakfast kitchen with pantry and utility, and a guest cloakroom. Two further bedrooms occupy the first-floor landing with sizeable loft areas suitable for conversion (subject to consent). The property is chain-free.
The plot is a major asset: wrap-around gardens, extensive lawns, paved seating areas, a double garage, driveway parking and an outbuilding/garden room that could become a home office. Countryside views and a peaceful rural setting add to the appeal for families seeking space and privacy. Nearby schools and links to Burton upon Trent and Ashby-de-la-Zouch make the location practical for commuters.
Buyers should note several practical drawbacks. The property is oil-heated with an oil-fired boiler and radiators; costs and future service arrangements should be considered. Broadband is limited (Ofcom estimate 2 Mbps standard, 45 Mbps superfast available) and the EPC rating is E. Council Tax is in Band G, and there is a covenant preventing additional dwellings on the plot. While the house is well-proportioned, some areas will benefit from updating and cosmetic work to realise full value—loft conversion, kitchen modernisation and general refurbishment present clear opportunities.
Overall, this bungalow suits buyers seeking a large, flexible single-storey home in a very affluent rural setting, who are prepared to invest in modernisation. It also offers scope for those wanting extensive gardens and space for home-working, subject to the covenant and planning constraints.
