Barfield Road, Dolton, EX19

Occupying a corner plot (approx. quarter of an acre), with large, level gardens, this very tidy detached bungalow was originally built in the 1960’s. Over the years, improvements have been made but with the large plot, comes large potential and there’s certainly room to alter or enlarge the footprint of the current home, should a new owner wish to do so in the future. In fact, the options are even greater with the benefit of planning permission for a separate two–storey, two–bedroom dwelling having been approved in the garden (Ref: 1/0564/2024/FUL). This could be built for a relative or as a rental income or merely to develop the plot and sell the new dwelling. Although the planning is in place, the existing property offers well-presented accommodation with three bedrooms, light-filled living spaces, and a comfortable, homely feel so with retaining the large garden, it’s a great opportunity in its own right.

The layout gives a fairly traditional bungalow layout with the official front door leading to a central hallway servicing all rooms. There’s a kitchen/breakfast room at the rear taking in the views of the garden with a door out (this tends to be the day to day entrance point). The living room is triple aspect with doors out to the garden and a conservatory or garden room could be added if desired (stp). The three bedrooms all have garden views and are served by a bathroom with separate WC (many would knock this into one larger space). There’s double glazing throughout, as well as oil fired central heating and a wood-burning stove, plus solar PV’s help to reduce energy costs for electric usage.

Occupying a generous corner plot, the garden wraps around the bungalow, providing both privacy and space for outdoor use. There’s a driveway with a detached garage and a further area of garden beyond.

It’s a wonderful option to enjoy as it is, a bungalow in a large plot, or utilise the planning to create another dwelling, either way, there’s huge potential for a range of buyers here.
