A spacious detached dormer bungalow set on a generous plot in the sought-after village of Great Eccleston. The house offers flexible family accommodation including a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, three first-floor bedrooms, plus a master with dressing room and en-suite. The living spaces centre around a lounge with a feature log burner and an adjoining dining room with dedicated home office space, while the fitted dining kitchen includes a gas and electric Aga and integrated appliances.
Outside, gated vehicular access leads to a wide paved driveway, garage and outbuildings. The private garden is extensive and includes a self-contained log cabin overlooking an enclosed courtyard — ideal for guests, home working or rental income. Importantly, outline planning permission has been granted for a detached dwelling on the garden/plot, adding clear development potential.
Practical points to note: the property was constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s, has double glazing installed after 2002, and runs on oil-fired central heating (not a community supply). Walls are cavity with partial insulation assumed, the EPC is D and council tax is moderate. These factors may mean some energy-efficiency upgrades or modernisation work will be desirable for long-term running costs and comfort.
This home suits buyers seeking village life with excellent parking, flexible accommodation and future development upside. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot size, outbuildings and versatile interior layout.
