3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Barfield Road, Dolton EX19

Occupying a generous corner plot of approximately quarter of an acre, this light, well maintained, detached bungalow is surrounded by large, level and fully enclosed gardens. A solid 1960’s building which has been well loved and improved over the years.

The front door leads to a spacious central hallway servicing all rooms. There are two large double bedrooms and one single, each having a garden view. There is a bathroom and separate WC which could be knocked into a single larger room if preferred. The triple aspect living room has double sliding doors onto a patio area. This room has great potential for the addition of a conservatory or garden room. To the rear is the kitchen overlooking the back garden, with the back door giving convenient access to the drive and detached garage. With this large plot comes potential to alter or extend the footprint of the current home in the future, if desired.

There is double glazing throughout, oil fired central heating, a wood-burning stove and solar pv, which helps to reduce energy costs for electric and hot water heating.

The large well maintained garden has tall mature hedges providing considerable privacy and offers plenty of scope for a variety of uses. In addition, recently granted full planning permission for a two bedroom dwelling at the bottom of the garden opens up the possibility for an annexe for extended family, sale or rental income. (Ref:1/0564/2024/ful).

It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy it as it is; a bungalow in a large plot, or to utilise the planning permit to create another dwelling. Either way, there is huge potential for a range of buyers here.
