2 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

*A Unique Opportunity – Detached Bungalow with Commercial Unit, Spacious Plot & Scope to Transform*

Set on a generous plot within a small hamlet, this detached bungalow presents a rare and exciting opportunity for those looking to create a truly individual home.

Once a bustling shop and village fuel station, the property still retains its commercial element with an attached unit currently operating as a hairdressing salon — offering fantastic potential for live/work lifestyle, rental income, or full residential conversion (subject to relevant planning)

The bungalow itself offers spacious and flexible accommodation, ripe for modernisation and reconfiguration. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming sitting room, a large kitchen/dining room ideal for family living, a separate utility/boot room, and a well-sized bathroom. There are two double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a generous walk-in dressing room — easily adaptable into an en-suite.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A substantial driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles, and there is a garage for additional storage with workshop area. Tucked away in the rear garden is a fascinating feature — a reinforced concrete bomb shelter, offering a glimpse into the property’s past and adding historical character.

With plenty of internal space, a large plot, and a versatile commercial unit, this property offers endless scope for improvement and transformation into a substantial and distinctive family home. Whether you’re a renovator, business owner, or visionary homeowner, this is a project brimming with potential in a well-connected and community-minded village setting.
