This individual detached bungalow with its attractive bay fronted façade and Broseley tiled roof was originally constructed in 1959 by its only owner to his own specification. We understand the dormer conversion was added in 1972. The property is now in need of refurbishment and offers a great opportunity for a purchaser to renovate and modernise the accommodation and perhaps extend it to suit their own individual requirements. It is offered to the market without the complication of an ongoing sales chain.
The property is approached through a spacious panelled entrance hall with oak strip flooring which continues into the 'L' shaped living and dining room. In addition there is a kitchen/breakfast room at the rear of the bungalow together with three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The first floor did not comply with building regulation requirements when it was added and should therefore be regarded as attic rooms rather than formal habitable accommodation. There is scope to provide a more formal loft conversion to add a significant amount of space to the first floor.
On the outside the property is slightly elevated from California Road with a block paved driveway and established front garden together with a large level rear garden which is a pleasant feature of the property.
The location between Oldland Common and Longwell Green is extremely convenient with access to the Drumway and cycle path as well as the amenities and schools locally with the added advantage of good access to the Bristol Ring Road.
In all, a fine opportunity to acquire a property to put your own stamp on and an early viewing is highly recommended.
