Property descriptiona loved home, beautifully maintained by the current owner, this chalet bungalow sits at the end of Mackie Avenue with no thru access, it is a home that offers the perfect combination of ready-to-enjoy accommodation and exciting potential for the future. The current layout is both practical and welcoming. To the front of the property is a large lounge, complete with a feature half-bay window, while to the rear a slight extension has created a wonderful kitchen and dining room, with doors opening directly onto the garden. The ground floor is also home to a good-sized bedroom and the family bathroom, ideal for people needing accommodation all on one floor. Upstairs, the dormer extension provides a particularly impressive extra bedroom, offering excellent proportions and plenty of useful eave's storage. However, this is where the property becomes particularly exciting for those looking to create their forever home. There is potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions, to extend the existing upper floor by opening up the gable ends, creating a much larger first-floor space and potentially adding an additional bathroom.

The outside space is equally appealing. The rear garden is a real highlight, with a combination of patio and lawn, beautifully planted borders and a weaving landscaped path to the top of the garden, with a fence leading directly onto the nature trail.

The property also benefits from a shared driveway and garage to the rear, although, like many neighbouring properties, there is potential to create a driveway to the front, subject to any necessary permissions. The garage is far more than simply somewhere to park the car. It has been cleverly divided into two incredibly useful spaces. The front section is currently set up as a utility room, complete with washing machine, sink and fridge freezer whilst the rear section is used as a workshop and storage area, with a little imagination this garage could make an excellent home office, studio, teenage retreat or even a dog grooming or hairdressing space, with the benefit of running water already in place.

This is a home that has clearly been loved and looked after yet still offers enormous scope for the next owner to take it further. Whether you simply want a beautifully maintained chalet bungalow or have ambitions to extend and create something larger, this home is an exciting opportunity.
