Set on a large private plot in peaceful Stapleford Abbotts, this two-bedroom detached timber bungalow offers clear development upside for the right buyer. The gated grounds and off-street parking provide immediate kerb appeal while the single-storey layout suits easy occupation or adaptation.
Offered for sale by Modern Auction, the property is chain free and freehold, with potential to develop further subject to planning permission (STPP). The bungalow is structurally modest with timber construction and compact rooms—presenting a realistic renovation or rebuild project for investors or buyers wanting to create a bespoke countryside home.
Buyers should note material purchase costs associated with auction sales: a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee of £349. Planning is not in place; any development would require council consent. Practical downsides include very slow broadband, low internal ceilings, and a higher local crime rate — factors likely to affect rental demand and some buyer groups.
This is a practical opportunity for a developer, investor or hands-on buyer who values plot size, privacy and rural character. For a purchaser prepared to invest time and capital, the site offers the potential to add value through refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to planning and statutory checks.
