1. 1.3 acre private plot with gated entrance and extensive off‑street parking
2. Full planning permission for a 4‑bed bungalow just under 2,000 sq ft
3. Newly renovated interior with underfloor heating and Mitsubishi air‑conditioning
4. Two garages, outbuildings, outside kitchen and secure yard with development potential
5. Modest internal footprint for the asking price; plot is main value driver
6. External walls assumed uninsulated (1930s‑1940s construction) — energy works possible
7. High local recorded crime and expensive council tax band — factor into costings
Set on approximately 1.3 acres in a semi-rural hamlet, Bridge Cottage is a newly renovated three‑bedroom detached bungalow that balances immediate comfort with significant future potential. The interior is modern throughout, with a contemporary kitchen, two bathrooms, underfloor heating, and Mitsubishi air‑conditioning in principal rooms — move‑in ready for a family seeking peaceful country living.
The property offers extensive external space: a gated stone‑pillared entrance, sweeping gravel driveway with parking for 10–15 cars, two garages, outbuildings, outside kitchen, covered seating area and a secure yard that could be converted to stables or ancillary uses (subject to consents). Full planning permission has been granted for a larger four‑bedroom bungalow just under 2,000 sq ft on the site, creating a clear redevelopment route for those wanting to extend or replace the current footprint.
This is an attractive proposition for buyers who value land, privacy and flexibility — the generous plot is the primary asset. The bungalow’s footprint is modest for the price, so the value case is strongest for purchasers who prioritise outdoor space or who will develop the site under the existing planning consent. The setting is peaceful and unoverlooked, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Be aware of notable practical points: the property sits in an area with higher recorded crime, council tax is in an expensive band, and the external walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation (age 1930s–40s). Prospective buyers should verify services and measurements independently and factor renovation or insulation work into budgets if additional energy improvements are desired.
