Spacious 4-bed bungalow on large private plot with planning permission to expand..
Backing directly onto protected woodland
Set on a generous plot backing directly onto protected woodland, this 1930s detached bungalow combines period charm with practical single‑storey living. The house offers four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large dual‑aspect lounge with an original brick fireplace and a recently refitted kitchen/diner and utility — ready for immediate family use. Off‑street parking, an attached garage and a deep, private garden complete the picture.
A major value driver is the granted planning permission for a first‑floor extension to add three further bedrooms, creating scope to transform this footprint into a larger family home (subject to the developer/owner following through). The property sits in a very low‑crime, affluent neighbourhood close to good state and independent schools, making it well suited to growing families who want space and woodland outlooks.
Buyers should note a few practical issues: the house is of solid brick construction typical of its era and is assumed to have no wall insulation; the council tax is band G and running costs will reflect that. Broadband is average, though mobile signal is excellent. While the kitchen and utility have been recently upgraded and the boiler is c. six years old, some rooms retain original finishes and may need further modernisation depending on buyer taste.
Overall this is a rare single‑storey property on a substantial plot with immediate garden privacy and significant potential to increase accommodation. It will suit purchasers wanting peaceful, green surroundings with scope to enlarge and personalise the home rather than a turnkey, low‑maintenance purchase.
