Bradwell

An exciting opportunity to refurbish and extend (stp) this deceptively spacious bungalow, standing on secluded grounds of 1.08 acres (stls)

What We Think at The Zoe Napier Group

It is incredibly rare for a bungalow of this nature, standing on just over an acre of grounds to come to the market and really represents a fantastic opportunity for the incoming buyer to put their own stamp on the property, whilst being located within such a short drive of the railway station that provides a commute in London’s Liverpool Street within an hour will appeal to discerning commuters.

What the owners say

Our late mother and father resided at the property for many, many years and cherished living here, our father was regularly up at the crack of dawn working the land and enjoyed providing wonderful fresh fruit and vegetables for the family. It will be incredibly hard to sell the property, as myself and my two sisters grew up here but the time has come to pass the baton on to a new family and let them enjoy the property as much as we have!

History & Background

As the name implies, Hill View is situated on the crest of the hill, surrounded by sensational, undulating views over countryside and undoubtedly offers an exciting proposition for buyers that are looking for a refurbishment opportunity.

This attractive bay fronted property is believed to have originally been constructed in the 1930’s with later additions in the 1970’s and offers deceptively spacious accommodation, including two generous reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast and four double bedrooms, serviced by a family shower room.

The secluded grounds of 1.08 acres (stls) offer a veritable gardeners paradise with an array of mature flowers, shrubs and trees, extensive vegetable patch, whilst the large garage and spacious detached work shop could quite conceivably be converted into annexe/ office accommodation if required (stp).

Setting & Location
