Looking for a chain free project?  A rare and exciting opportunity to buy and modernise the existing three double bedroom bungalow on this 0.33 acre (approx.) plot to create a large family home to your own taste or perhaps to develop to more than one residence – subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions.

The  current vendor has lived in Bethshan, Church Road  for more than fifty years and is now selling his cherished home with ‘No Onward Chain’.

This large bungalow, in the popular village of Hartley, offers versatile living accommodation and comprises of a welcoming long hallway, an expansive lounge, a semi-open plan kitchen/diner, a warm study/snug, a very functionable utility room, a large conservatory, a family bathroom and three large double bedrooms with the main double benefitting from an en-suite shower room.  Attached to the bungalow is a massive double garage. The rear garden is generous in size and laid to lawn with established trees and shrubs to the borders. The garden also hosts a patio area, sheds of varying sizes, a wooden gazebo, a pond and a hard standing area to the rear of the double garage.

The depth and width of just the front garden when you step onto the gravel drive gives you the expectation of how good a size this property is going to be.  With a front lawn and parking for at least five vehicles, you follow the path to the front door. The long entrance hallway is the conduit to all the rooms throughout the bungalow. The 26’ lounge overlooks the front drive and is a lovely place to relax featuring two large bay windows and a log burner sat in an inglenook fireplace as the focal point of the room.

The kitchen and dining room, to the rear,  is laid out for ease of use by the current owner and the utility, off the dining room, hosts a butler sink and room for appliances. The fully fitted kitchen with its plethora of cupboard space has a large gas range cooker and a breakfast bar. Over-looking the rear garden is the comfortable conservatory which can be accessed through the study or from the dining room via the utility room.

The three double bedrooms have built in floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, with the main bedroom, to the front, also benefitting from an en-suite three piece shower room. The family bathroom sits at the end of the hallway.

The west facing rear garden continues your feeling of size and space throughout the plot. Well established borders surround a large lawn. A pond sits in one corner and a sun-soaked wooden gazebo offers the shade needed. Two large garage doors from the driveway and a garage door from the rear garden give access to the double garage and it’s amazing storage space.

The potential for this property is huge – a possible development opportunity (STPP) with the front 25m wide, the depth 51m and rear width 28m.
