Located in a deprived wider area — consider local market conditions
Set well back from the road, this detached 4-bedroom chalet bungalow sits on a near-acre plot and offers rare scope for extension or a new build to the rear (subject to necessary planning permissions). The house combines period Tudor Revival features externally with a practical, traditional layout inside, including a 22' conservatory that brings extra light and garden access. Living spaces are comfortable but largely dated, giving a buyer clear scope to modernise and add value.
Bedrooms are well-sized and the property includes two bathrooms, making it suitable for family life or flexible household arrangements. The living room has a period-style fireplace and built-in shelving; it is cosy but shows its post-war age and will benefit from updating. Practical positives include driveway parking, freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for those who work from home.
The standout asset is the substantial rear plot of almost an acre. That quarter-acre+ rear section presents a genuine development opportunity — whether to extend the existing house, add an annex, or explore a separate dwelling — but any plans will need formal planning approval. The neighbourhood is peaceful with low crime, good local schools nearby, and basic amenities within walking distance.
This property is best for buyers who want space and development potential rather than a turnkey home. Expect renovation work to bring the interiors up to modern standards; once updated, the combination of size, plot and seaside location offers strong long-term appeal.
