On behalf of Savidge & Brown - Alfreton

A truly superb and rare opportunity to acquire a large and individual two bedroomed detached bungalow with two additional loft rooms, occupying a historic and picturesque village location, enjoying a well kept deep plot with magnificent far reaching countryside views.

The property requires a comprehensive scheme of improvement and modernisation and in brief comprises of entrance hall with stairs, spacious lounge with opening through to a dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen room, two genuine double bedrooms and family bathroom. To the loft there are two further rooms with ample eaves storage space. One of the loft rooms has a timber staircase leading to the large attached garage with roller door and with workshop to the rear.

Outside to the front, the property is set well back from the road with a beautiful fore-garden with adjacent tarmacadam driveway with turning area. There is pedestrian access leading to a delightful enclosed mature garden that enjoys a south westerly aspect and certain degree of privacy.

In our opinion, the property lends itself to an extension or further loft conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building regulations.

The village of Higham is an extremely sought after semi-rural location, situated close to the market town of Alfreton and the A38 which provides swift access onto Derby and the M1 Motorway.

The sale provides a genuine opportunity for a discerning purchaser looking to acquire a unique retirement/family bungalow offered for sale at a very attractive guide price.
