This home offers significant scope for extension or remodelling, subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions. Whether you're looking to expand the living space, create an open-plan layout, or add a loft conversion, the possibilities are abundant. However, due to its current generous size and condition (one of the largest bungalows on the road), further extension may not be deemed necessary.

It has been lovingly developed over 70 years and features rare and valuable plants and trees. To the front of the property is a large block paved driveway providing off road parking for numerous vehicles and leading to the garage, which provides further parking or storage, to the rear of the garage is an additional store room, utility room and useful rear lobby which connects through to the rear garden.
