A rare detached bungalow with huge potential, generous corner plot and large garage
Rarely do detached bungalows become available within this highly sought-after part of Whelley, especially along the upper section of Ashbourne Avenue where properties of this style are few and far between. Occupying a superb corner plot with generous gardens extending to the front, side, and rear, this spacious true bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a home with excellent potential in a well-established residential setting.
The property enjoys an impressive frontage with a large block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, alongside a larger-than-average garage — ideal for hobbyists, storage, or those requiring additional workspace. Internally, the bungalow offers a well-proportioned and versatile layout, highlighted by a substantial 21ft living room and a spacious kitchen diner, recently upgraded with a stylish newly fitted kitchen. Both bedrooms are privately positioned to the rear of the home and are generous doubles, complemented by a good-sized bathroom.
In recent months the property has undergone several significant improvements, including a full rewire to both the bungalow and garage, new ceilings and contemporary spotlighting to the kitchen and lounge, and the installation of a new gas boiler, ensuring the home benefits from modern and efficient essentials already in place.
While some cosmetic updating and general finishing works are still required, the bungalow offers a superb blank canvas for a purchaser to personalise and enhance to their own tastes. The gardens, which have previously been landscaped with attractive patios and block paving, also offer huge potential with a little care and attention.
Available with no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a rarely available detached bungalow with outstanding potential, generous outside space, and a prime Whelley location close to shops, amenities, transport links, and local countryside walks.
