Description
There’s a reason bungalows are always in demand - and it’s not just about having everything on one level. It’s about flexibility, future-proofing, and finding a home you can settle into for the long haul. And that’s exactly what this one offers.
Tucked back from the road on a generous 0.10-acre plot, this detached bungalow gives you the kind of space - inside and out - that many homes in this price range simply don’t. It’s had a loft conversion and rear extension added over the years, creating a second bedroom upstairs and adding more usable room on the ground floor. It hasn’t been modernised recently, but it’s been looked after - and the opportunity here is clear.
The main living room sits to the front of the house, with a wide bay window that brings in good natural light and plenty of floor space for furniture. It’s easy to imagine this as the place to unwind - whether it’s Sunday papers, boxsets or a glass of wine in the evening.
Toward the back, the kitchen gives you a blank canvas to work with - already a decent size, with potential to open up into the adjoining conservatory and really connect it to the garden. There’s plenty of storage, and the layout makes day-to-day life simple, with everything close at hand.
Just off the central hallway is a second reception room that’s had various uses over the years - from dining room to hobby space. Whether you need somewhere to eat, work, or simply spread out, it’s a flexible area that adapts to whatever life throws your way. The downstairs bedroom is a generous double, and being on the same level as the bathroom makes it ideal if you want a home that can adapt to your needs long-term.
The bathroom is a good size, with a walk-in shower and built-in storage. It’s a practical space that does the job well - whether it’s setting you up for the day with an invigorating morning shower, or winding down in the evening and washing the day away. There’s also plenty of scope to modernise and make it your own over time.
Head upstairs and you’ll find a second double bedroom tucked into the loft conversion - complete with eaves storage and a warm, peaceful feel. It’s a great guest room, office, or even a teenager’s hideaway.
The garden is a real standout. It’s not just big - it’s well proportioned, with a wide patio, long lawn and scope to do something meaningful with it. Think garden studios, play space, or just somewhere to make the most of sunny days and weekend BBQs.
Own a car or two? Out front, the driveway provides easy off-road parking for several vehicles, and there’s still a sense of space and privacy from the street.
Meppershall has a loyal following - it’s the kind of village people grow into and rarely want to leave. There’s countryside all around, a friendly local community, and good connections by road to Hitchin, Shefford, and beyond. You feel like you’ve stepped away from the noise, without being cut off.
This isn’t a polished show home, and it won’t suit someone looking for perfect finishes. But if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and want something you can shape, enjoy and grow into - it’s a great starting point. No chain. No delays. Just a chance to make your next chapter count.
