Broughton Road, Croft, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE9

This two double bedroom detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous and attractive plot within the sought after village of Croft. The potential both the bungalow and the plot it occupies offers any buyer massive potential to add significant and immediate value through either the refurbishment of the existing accommodation or by adding to it which could be done in a variety of ways. The plot, especially to the rear of the home would allow scope for substantial extension without compromising too much of the current garden. In fact, an extension, in many ways, would make the garden more manageable for many buyers. The garage could also be converted into living space, and the bungalow's considerable loft space could also be utilised. Even a buyer had no need to enlarge the living accommodation the refurbishment and modernisation of the rooms as they are would still add plenty of value.

Access to the bungalow is a via a front door to the side of the home. You enter into a generous entrance hall that benefits from a two built-in storage/cloakroom cupboards. The entrance hall is also large enough to potentially have a flight of stairs built up to the loft without having to use up space in an existing room.

Situated toward the front of the bungalow is a spacious dual aspect lounge which has a bay window to the front elevation and two windows either side of a central chimney breast. The focal point of the room is a feature fireplace with timber mantelpiece and raised hearth.

Although most buyers will want to replace or even re-position the existing kitchen diner the room is certainly functional and useable in the short term. There is an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is ample space for all essential appliances including a cooker, fridge/freezer as well as plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen also has space for a small table and chairs. There are two windows to the side elevation and a back door that provides access to the side and rear. Off the kitchen there is a further cupboard space that accommodates the boiler.

The two double bedrooms are situated toward the rear of the bungalow with both having windows that overlook the garden. Both are well-proportioned spaces that will comfortably fit a range of freestanding bedroom furniture. For those that would prefer to have the reception spaces towards the rear, these bedrooms could be knocked through to create a lounge and if anyone were to extend then a buyer could configure the bungalow in any way they choose.

Finally, there is a bathroom and separate WC. The bathroom comprises a two piece suite to include a bath and pedestal wash hand basin. Again, for buyers wanting a larger bathroom space the WC and bathroom could be knocked through.

To the front of the home there is a lawned front garden and mature hedges that enhance the bungalow's kerb appeal. A driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage.

At the rear is a large garden which is predominantly lawn and flanked by two mature planted borders. There is also a timber-built storage shed.

The potential this bungalow has is huge. It is a rare opportunity to create a space perfectly suited to the people who purchase it. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the space the bungalow has and the future possibilities the property and plot offer.
