Detached bungalow in a stunning rural setting, set within 0.3 acres of established gardens. In need of modernisation, with exciting potential to extend the footprint (STP). A rare opportunity to create your dream countryside home.

Welcome to Coolon – a spacious detached bungalow tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, sitting on a generous, level 0.3-acre plot surrounded by mature gardens.

This much-loved home is now ready for its next chapter and offers a fantastic opportunity for someone with vision. While it would benefit from modernisation, the layout is generous, and there's plenty of scope to update, reconfigure or even extend the footprint (subject to planning).

Inside, you'll find 1356 sq ft of space, including a large open-plan sitting/dining room, a separate kitchen and utility, and a bright conservatory stretching across the front of the home with lovely garden views – the perfect place to soak up the peace and quiet.

There are three bedrooms and a shower room, all set within a layout that could easily be adapted to suit a range of needs.

Outside, the generous south-facing garden is a real highlight – mainly laid to lawn and beautifully framed by established trees, shrubs and planting that offer loads of privacy and a lovely sense of space. To the front, there's plenty of driveway parking and turning space, along with an attached garage for extra storage or workshop potential.

If you're dreaming of a countryside lifestyle with space to grow and make your own, Coolon is full of potential.
