Property Summary
Set on a superb plot in the highly sought-after village of High Harrington, this detached 1960s bungalow offers a rare and exciting opportunity to create a stunning family home. Built by the current owners' family and cherished ever since, the property has been well maintained while offering enormous scope for modernisation, extension (STPP) and personalisation throughout. Originally configured as two bedrooms and two reception rooms, the flexible layout could easily be adapted to provide three bedrooms, while the generous plot may also offer potential for extension, subject to the necessary consents. Retaining charming original features, including a characterful 1960s fireplace and period pelmet boards, the bungalow combines nostalgic appeal with endless possibilities. Outside, the expansive gardens provide a wonderful blank canvas for landscaping enthusiasts, while the spacious driveway offers ample parking, including room for a motorhome, alongside a detached single garage. Enjoying delightful open views across neighbouring fields towards the farm beyond, this is a property bursting with character, potential and opportunity, making it the perfect project for buyers eager to design and create a home tailored entirely to their own tastes and lifestyle.
