Large garden, garage and renovation potential near Shenfield station and top schools..
Three bedrooms with spacious lounge and loft access
Set on a large plot in the popular Hutton Burses development, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers substantial scope for a family looking to create a long-term home close to excellent schools and fast rail links. The property is freehold and sits about 0.5 mile from Shenfield station, making daily commuting straightforward, while the sizable rear garden and garage provide practical outdoor space and storage.
The accommodation is traditional and well-proportioned: a wide entrance hallway with loft access, a front-facing kitchen, a generous rear lounge with sliding doors onto the garden, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Double glazing and mains gas boiler with radiators are in place, but many internal elements are dated and the bathroom and kitchen are original — the house requires full modernisation throughout.
Key positives are the large private garden, detached garage with adjoining store room, and scope to extend (subject to planning). These features make the bungalow attractive to families seeking space, downsizers wanting single-storey living, or buyers planning a renovation project to add value. The area is affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note the material drawbacks: the property needs comprehensive updating and refurbishment, there is only one bathroom, and council tax is described as expensive. Local crime is above average for the area; prospective purchasers should consider this alongside the location benefits. Overall this is a solid renovation opportunity in a sought-after location with strong future potential.
