Quote Ref: DP0213 when requesting further details of this fabulous opportunity to renovate this three-bedroom detached bungalow on a half an acre plot set on the edge of Gestingthorpe Village. This is a project and will need either complete refurbishment with potential to extend into something larger subject to planning. 

This bungalow is set on a half-acre plot on the edge of Gestingthorpe village. The property will need a complete refurb with possible minor structural works. The bungalow is an existing three-bedroom property with kitchen, living room, bathroom and three bedrooms and could be kept in its current configuration and be ideal for downsizers or gardening enthusiasts who want to take the half acre plot. The property has running water and electric but the current sewage system will also need to be replaced along with a form of heating put in as well. 

The property has great potential to extend as well or even possible knock down and start again project for those who are willing. I think the popular option will be to keep the original bungalow and possibly extend out the back, the current construction is a 1950’s brick construction with a small cavity with a tiled roof, there are two chimney stacks that serve the fireplace in the living room and the wood burner/rayburn in the kitchen and then the other chimney creates fireplaces in the two larger bedrooms to the front of the home. There is a mix of double glazed and single glazed window units.

Outside:

There is a concrete driveway to the side with potential for more parking at the front with clearance. The bungalow sits at the front of the plot and the garden itself could be amazing. The garden is approximately 325ft long as part of the half acre plot, with a range of mature trees and shrubs. With the size as it is a new owner could make this garden useable for their own needs whether that its creating a formal garden to the immediate rear of the bungalow and leaving the end to wildflowers and more open for a wild garden, it’s up to you. It has the space but does need fencing and clearing.
