Located in affluent Joydens Wood near woods and well-regarded schools
Set on one of Joydens Wood’s most desirable bungalow roads, this detached, single-storey home sits on a notably large, level plot that invites extension or full redevelopment (subject to planning). The wide frontage and expansive rear garden give genuine scope to create a much larger family home while retaining substantial outdoor amenity. With no onward chain and freehold tenure, the plot is the principal asset for a buyer with vision.
Internally the property offers a straightforward layout with two double bedrooms and a single bathroom; the footprint totals approximately 953 sq ft. The house is structurally typical of a mid‑20th‑century bungalow and has been maintained but clearly requires modernisation throughout. Buyers should budget for renovations and potential loft/ground-floor structural work if planning to extend or reconfigure the accommodation.
Practical positives include a detached garage, generous off-street parking on a wide driveway, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and no flood risk. The location benefits from nearby woods, local shops, and a good selection of schools, including several highly regarded secondary options. For families seeking long-term potential or developers looking for a substantial plot within a very affluent pocket, this is a rare opportunity.
Material drawbacks are straightforward and important: the house needs renovation throughout, there is only one bathroom, and any enlargement or redevelopment will be subject to planning permission (STPP). Prospective purchasers should carry out their own surveys and factor refurbishment costs and planning risk into their budgets.
