Set within a sought-after rural village location and offered freehold, this substantial detached bungalow provides an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-positioned property with clear scope for improvement. Occupying a generous plot approaching 0.77 acre, the property offers potential for modernisation, extension or possible redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2,009 sq ft and is currently arranged to provide four bedrooms, with a flexible and well-proportioned layout well suited to reconfiguration or upgrading to meet modern living requirements. While the bungalow now requires comprehensive updating, the scale of the internal space offers a strong foundation for refurbishment and future value enhancement.

Externally, the property benefits from extensive grounds, a double garage and a range of outbuildings, adding to its versatility and appeal. The size and setting of the plot will be of particular interest to purchasers considering future extension or redevelopment potential, subject to planning, while retaining a high level of privacy and rural character.

Located within Cobbs Fenn, the property also benefits from convenient access to the regional road and rail network, providing straightforward links to surrounding market towns and mainline services offering connections to London and other key destinations, enhancing both lifestyle appeal and long-term demand.

Pre-auction offers
These must be made in writing and will only be considered if the Legal Pack has been inspected and proof of funding has been supplied to the auctioneers. Pre-auction offers are only considered on an auction basis in accordance with the “Terms & Conditions - Unconditional Auction".

Mortgage finance
We advise all bidders who require a mortgage to confirm with their Financial Advisor as to whether or not the lot you are interested in would be suitable security to borrow finance against, prior to bidding. If you need to arrange a mortgage it is important that you obtain an offer from your lender before the day of the auction. Most building societies and banks will instruct a surveyor to prepare a valuation report before making a mortgage offer.
