Description
Set on a generous plot within a small hamlet, this detached bungalow presents a rare and exciting opportunity for those looking to create a truly individual home.
Once a bustling shop and village fuel station, the property still retains its commercial element with an attached unit currently operating as a hairdressing salon — offering fantastic potential for live/work lifestyle, rental income, or full residential conversion (subject to relevant planning)
The bungalow itself offers spacious and flexible accommodation, ripe for modernisation and reconfiguration. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming sitting room, a large kitchen/dining room ideal for family living, a separate utility/boot room, and a well-sized bathroom. There are two double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a generous walk-in dressing room — easily adaptable into an en-suite.
Outside, the property continues to impress. A substantial driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles, and there is a garage for additional storage with workshop area. Tucked away in the rear garden is a fascinating feature — a reinforced concrete bomb shelter, offering a glimpse into the property’s past and adding historical character.
With plenty of internal space, a large plot, and a versatile commercial unit, this property offers endless scope for improvement and transformation into a substantial and distinctive family home. Whether you’re a renovator, business owner, or visionary homeowner, this is a project brimming with potential in a well-connected and community-minded village setting.

The property was formerly a shop and petrol station decommissioned in the 1980's, we believe the former tanks have been filled but still present, as such this may restrict any proposed mortgage borrowing and therefore suggest any interested parties talk to their broker/lender prior to viewing. The commercial unit is currently operating as a hairdressers with rateable value of £3750 PA.
