Hamwic Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this substantial three-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a particularly generous plot of just over a quarter of an acre within central Totton.
Coming to the market for the first time since it was built in 1935, the property has remained within the same family for generations and now presents an increasingly rare opportunity for buyers looking for space, land and the potential to create a home around their own requirements.
The bungalow is habitable in its current condition but would benefit from a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and modernisation throughout. The existing accommodation is well proportioned, with three double bedrooms, a separate lounge, generous rear-facing kitchen, bathroom and separate cloakroom, whilst outside the property enjoys extensive front, side and rear gardens together with a detached double garage and parking for several vehicles.
The plot is undoubtedly one of the defining features. Extending to just over a quarter of an acre, it offers a scale of outside space that is difficult to find within such a central Totton location.
Accommodation
The property occupies a substantial and mature plot, with the bungalow set within extensive gardens providing a strong sense of space around the building.
The internal accommodation is arranged entirely across one level and offers a practical existing footprint with excellent scope for refurbishment.
Two of the bedrooms are positioned towards the front of the property and are particularly generous in size, each benefiting from an attractive bay window that adds both character and natural light. The third bedroom is also a comfortable double, making the bungalow well suited to couples, families or buyers requiring additional guest or home-working space.
The separate lounge provides a good-sized principal reception room and offers plenty of potential to create a comfortable central living area as part of a wider refurbishment.
Positioned towards the rear, the kitchen is particularly generous and provides an excellent footprint for complete redesign. There is ample space to create a contemporary kitchen arrangement alongside a dining table or breakfast area, making this one of the rooms with the most obvious potential to transform the way the bungalow is used.
The existing bathroom and separate cloakroom complete the accommodation and, like the remainder of the property, would benefit from updating.
For purchasers prepared to undertake refurbishment, the existing layout provides a strong starting point, with the proportions and plot size allowing plenty of scope to create a particularly individual home.
Outside
The gardens are a major attraction and extend around the front, side and rear of the bungalow, giving the property a genuinely spacious setting.
Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are complemented by an established collection of mature trees, shrubs, bushes and planting, creating a leafy and well-established environment.
The scale of the plot provides numerous possibilities for landscaping, entertaining, gardening or simply retaining the sense of openness that currently surrounds the property.
There is also off-road parking for several vehicles, adding further practicality.
Detached Double Garage
Positioned within the grounds is a substantial detached double garage, accessed via twin timber barn-style doors.
The garage benefits from power and lighting, providing useful secure parking, workshop or storage space.
Combined with the extensive gardens and generous driveway area, this significantly enhances the practicality and long-term potential of the property.
