About this home
Situated on Sandalwood Road in Forest Side, one of Loughborough's most sought-after residential locations, this extended detached bungalow occupies a wonderful mature plot with ample off-road parking, an attached brick garage and a beautifully private rear garden. Offered to the market with no onward chain, opportunities to purchase bungalows in this highly desirable setting are rare, making this an exceptional opportunity for a wide range of buyers.
The property is likely to appeal to downsizers, families, investors and purchasers seeking the convenience of single-storey living, with the added benefit of generous accommodation that offers scope for further improvement if desired. The bungalow has been extended to the rear to create additional living space and enjoys a flexible layout that could be adapted to suit changing needs.
Approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking, the property enjoys an attractive frontage framed by mature planting. An attached brick-built garage benefits from both internal access from the house and an external door, offering excellent storage, workshop potential or scope for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
Internally, a centrally positioned hallway creates a natural flow throughout the home. A convenient cloakroom/WC is located off the hall, alongside a useful office space, ideal for those working from home or requiring a dedicated study area.
The spacious lounge occupies the front right-hand side of the property and has been enlarged by the current owner to create an impressive main reception room. Dual-aspect windows allow for an abundance of natural light, whilst a feature fireplace provides a focal point. Its generous proportions offer excellent flexibility and could lend themselves to alternative uses if required.
Positioned to the front of the property, the kitchen offers a practical layout with a range of fitted units, ample worktop space, eye-level oven and grill, gas hob, stainless steel sink and space for appliances. Whilst buyers may wish to modernise, it remains perfectly functional.
To the rear, a particularly large dining room enjoys delightful views across the garden and features sliding patio doors opening directly onto the outdoor seating area, creating an excellent space for entertaining and family gatherings.
The accommodation includes two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying fitted wardrobes and attractive garden views. The rear extension provides an additional bedroom overlooking the garden, further enhancing the versatility of the layout. The property is well served by two WC/bathroom facilities, comprising a cloakroom/WC and a well-appointed shower room fitted with a large shower cubicle, wash basin and WC.
One of the standout features of the property is undoubtedly the rear garden. Mature, private and not overlooked, it has been carefully established over many years to create a peaceful and wildlife-friendly environment. Designed for ease of maintenance, the garden features two lawned areas, a pond, established trees and shrubs, and a patio seating area, creating an attractive outdoor retreat that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
In summary, this rare Forest Side bungalow combines a highly desirable location with generously proportioned accommodation, ample parking, a garage, private mature gardens and exciting future potential. Offered with no onward chain, it represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a versatile home in one of Loughborough's most coveted residential neighbourhoods. Early viewing is highly recommended.
