An Exceptional Development Opportunity on One of the Midlands’ Most Prestigious Roads.
Situated on the highly sought-after Widney Manor Road, this three-bedroom detached bungalow presents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a property of enormous potential in a prime Midlands location. Set back from the road and occupying a substantially large plot, the property combines privacy, future development potential and one of the most unique gardens you are ever likely to find.
The property is the first on the road and is not overlooked by neighbouring homes, enjoying excellent privacy from both the road and surrounding properties. Mature hedging to the front provides a strong visual and acoustic buffer, ensuring a peaceful setting despite the superb transport connectivity.
Exceptional Plot & Development Potential:
The bungalow sits on an extensive south-facing plot, ideal for garden lovers and outdoor entertaining. Uniquely, the grounds include the property’s own private island, making this a truly one-of-a-kind offering. Such a feature is exceptionally rare and provides a standout opportunity for landscaping, wildlife or a feature garden area.
The land is ripe for development, with significant scope to extend, reconfigure or redevelop (subject to planning). The property also benefits from easement rights over neighbouring properties’ development and planning applications, further enhancing long-term value and peace of mind.
There is clear potential to add substantial value through modernisation, making this an ideal purchase for owner-occupiers, developers or investors alike.
Accommodation:
The accommodation is well-proportioned throughout and comprises:
Spacious entrance hallway.
Generous living room, enjoying excellent privacy and outlook due to mature front hedging.
Dining room positioned off the living room, leading through to the kitchen.
Kitchen, now requiring modernisation but offering the perfect footprint for structural alteration to create a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner.
Laundry room located off the kitchen.
South-facing conservatory, flooding the property with natural light.
Three well-sized bedrooms, all conveniently located near the bathrooms.
Two bathrooms.
Fully double glazed throughout.
Gas central heating - new boiler, two years old.
Externally, the property boasts a large driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, along with a substantial internal garage that was previously used as a workshop and offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to the usual consents.
