Property Description

A rare opportunity to purchase a spacious three bedroom detached bungalow, set on a generous 0.33 acre plot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after village of Kempsey. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation, a large private south-facing rear garden, an extensive garage and workshop, and ample off-road parking provided by two driveways.

The bungalow is perfectly liveable as it stands, while also offering excellent scope for a purchaser to update, reconfigure or extend the accommodation to suit their own requirements, subject to the necessary consents.
