About this home
A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY! Occupying an impressive plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, this spacious three bedroom detached bungalow offers tremendous potential to create a wonderful home. The property boasts a 23' living room, kitchen/diner, utility room and conservatory. The extensive private gardens are a real highlight, offering exceptional outdoor space, complemented by driveway parking. A rare opportunity with endless potential!
Occupying a generous plot and offering an excellent amount of internal and external space, 21 Highbury Road represents an exciting opportunity for those looking to create a home tailored to their own individual style and requirements. The property is now in need of modernisation and updating throughout; however, its generous proportions, versatile accommodation and sizeable gardens provide considerable potential.
The bungalow offers particularly spacious accommodation, with a welcoming entrance hallway providing access to the principal rooms. One of the standout features is the impressive 23'07" living room, a wonderfully proportioned reception space with windows to both the front and side elevations allowing plenty of natural light to enter. A feature fireplace creates a focal point within the room, while its generous dimensions provide ample space for both relaxing and entertaining.
The kitchen/diner is another well-proportioned room, offering a good range of fitted cupboards, wall cabinets and drawers together with plenty of worktop and preparation space. There is room for a freestanding oven, upright fridge/freezer and dishwasher, while a wall-mounted boiler serves the central heating system. From here, a door leads into a particularly useful utility room, which provides further practical space, plumbing for a washing machine and direct access into the rear garden.
Adding further versatility is a conservatory overlooking the garden, providing an additional reception space which could be used in a variety of ways depending upon the requirements of the next owner.
There are two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying plenty of natural light. Bedroom one benefits from windows to both the front and side elevations, while bedroom two enjoys windows to the side and rear with an outlook across the garden. There is a further single bedroom and completing the internal accommodation is a modern fitted wet room, together with a separate cloakroom.
Externally, the property continues to offer considerable potential. To the front is a private driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles, together with a small front garden.
The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's most appealing features. The vendor has advised that the overall plot extends to approximately a quarter of an acre, providing an impressive amount of outside space and a high degree of privacy. Predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a variety of established shrubs and trees, the garden also incorporates useful sheds and a greenhouse.
Whilst the gardens would benefit from landscaping and improvement, their size offers a wonderful blank canvas for a keen gardener or purchaser looking to create an impressive outdoor entertaining space, with plenty of room for children and pets to enjoy.
21 Highbury Road is a property with space, potential and opportunity at its heart. Although requiring renovation and modernisation, the generous accommodation and substantial plot provide an excellent foundation from which to create a superb home.
