A spacious three bedroom detached bungalow tucked away at the end of a long private drive, with planning permission to redevelop and renovate or demolish and rebuild, just a stroll from the heart of Prestbury village

A 1960’s detached bungalow in a delightful private location, just a short walk from both the village centre and the foot of Cleeve Hill. The property offers well balanced living space approaching 1500 sq ft (140 sq m) which is functioning well but would benefit from a program of refurbishment to enhance the overall quality with new fixtures and fittings. Depending on a buyer’s ambitions and budget, planning permissions have been granted for an additional storey incorporating a re-design of the existing accommodation and demolition with a replacement two storey dwelling. Both designs would increase the internal living space to approximately 2500 sq ft/235 sq m. Please follow the links on the property brochure for detailed information. The current layout comprises a porch, large hall, sitting room, kitchen part open plan to a dining room which in turn leads into a conservatory. There are three good size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. Outside, a long private drive leads to a substantial off road parking area and detached double garage. Access either side of the property with an attached utility/laundry room (external access only). The rear garden is private, mainly lawned with mature shrub borders and hedged boundaries. Freehold.
