Bungalow for sale in Beacon Hill, Wickham Bishops, Witham, Essex CM8

Detached bungalow with approximately 44.4m road frontage on about 0.36-acre plot.

Description
Owned by the same family since 1974, this bungalow has been well-maintained and designed so the principal bedrooms and reception room overlook the extensive gardens. The road contains a variety of substantial houses, with many recently developed or extended. Whilst the bungalow itself is a wonderful home with a large plot, there appears to be the potential to re-develop the site with either one large replacement home, or a separate part of the garden creating a building plot. These would require planning permission and are not guaranteed.

The spacious accommodation has a large hall at its core. The accommodation to the right of the hall contains three bedrooms, two overlooking the gardens, and a family bathroom. At the center of the bungalow is a kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with base and eye level units with a plinth separating the two areas. At the rear, overlooking the gardens on two aspects is a generous lounge, incorporating a fireplace and having patio doors onto a terrace. In addition, there is a utility room and cloakroom.

The established gardens contain a variety of trees and shrubs for all year colour and interest. All in about 0.36 acre
