Large garden and redevelopment potential in a quiet, affluent suburb.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a large plot with off-street parking
This detached two-bedroom bungalow on St James Avenue sits on a large plot with off-street parking and genuine scope for improvement. The site is freehold, not in a flood-risk area, and lies in an affluent, low-crime North Lancing neighbourhood close to several well-regarded schools. The footprint is modest (approximately 539 sq ft) so the property will suit buyers who prioritise a large garden or a single-storey layout.
The building is in poor, neglected condition and requires substantial work before it is habitable. External issues include broken windows, heavy ivy and overgrown vegetation across elevations; internally expect stripped floors, peeling plaster, dated bathroom fixtures and a full refurbishment of electrics, plumbing and finishes. Immediate clearance and repair costs should be factored into any offer.
For buyers prepared to invest, the plot offers straightforward potential: renovate and modernise the existing bungalow, extend subject to planning, or explore replacement with a new single-storey dwelling. The large rear garden is a major asset — private, south-orientation not confirmed — and offers landscaping or extension opportunities to increase living space and value. This is a project property: suited to a builder, experienced DIYer, or developer seeking a modest suburban plot with good local amenities.
Viewings are recommended only for those prepared for a renovation project. The property’s small internal area and close neighbouring buildings limit large lateral extensions, but the sizeable plot and off-street parking create clear upside once works are complete.
