Highgate, Indian Queens, TR9 - Character, Space & Potential – A Hidden Gem on the Edge of the Village

***A Charming Detached Three Bedroom Bungalow with Exceptional Potential – Indian Queens***

Situated on the edge of the popular village of Indian Queens, this delightful detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious home brimming with character, charm, and exciting potential!

Dating from the 1940s, the property retains a wealth of original features, including attractive exposed brick accents, warm timber panelling, and characterful detailing throughout, creating a welcoming and homely feel. With a generous internal footprint of approximately 100sqm, the versatile layout provides well-proportioned living accommodation that can be adapted to suit a variety of needs.

While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation, it presents a fantastic blank canvas for buyers looking to create their ideal home. There is clear scope for reconfiguration or extension (subject to the necessary planning consents), making this an excellent prospect for those seeking both space and future potential.

Externally, the property truly shines. The bungalow enjoys both a generous front garden and a particularly impressive rear garden, which is level, enclosed, and predominantly laid to lawn. The garden also features a sun terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, along with useful outbuildings and storage areas. It provides an ideal environment for families, gardening enthusiasts, or simply those who appreciate outdoor space.

Further benefits include ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, conveniently located in a nearby parking bay, as well as a peaceful setting on the fringe of the village. This enviable position offers the best of both worlds—easy access to local amenities while enjoying a more rural, out-of-village feel.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful home with space, charm, and significant scope to enhance and add value. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this property has to offer.

Property Tour:

Step through the front door into a welcoming and spacious entrance hall, immediately setting the tone for this charming home, with attractive wooden panelled walls adding warmth and character.

To the left, you will find the generous and light-filled lounge, a cosy yet spacious room featuring a charming log burner—perfect for relaxing evenings during the colder months.

To the right of the hallway is a versatile reception room, currently arranged as the principal bedroom but equally suited as a dining room, playroom, or home office. This bright and spacious room, measuring nearly 12sqm, benefits from built-in wardrobes and useful storage cupboards.

The hallway then opens out into the heart of the home—an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and sun room. This wonderfully sociable space is flooded with natural light, thanks to dual-aspect windows in the kitchen, sliding patio doors, and the additional light from the sun room, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor feel.

Bedroom two is positioned just off this space and offers a comfortable small double room.

The kitchen itself is full of character, featuring a charming country-style design with ample cupboard space. Characterful details include exposed beams, a wood-panelled ceiling in the dining area, and striking exposed brick pillars. A cosy alcove breakfast table provides an additional, versatile dining option.

To the rear of the kitchen, a secondary hallway provides access to the garden, along with bedroom three—a spacious double—and the family bathroom, which is well-appointed with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden is a fantastic size—level, enclosed, and private—offering plenty of space for children to play or for keen gardeners to enjoy. It features lawned areas, an alfresco patio terrace ideal for outdoor dining, and a useful storage and outbuilding area, all included in the sale.

To the front, the garden is laid to lawn and approached via steps leading up to a veranda-style porch, all enclosed by mature shrub borders. A side gate provides convenient access to the rear garden.

Opposite the property, a private parking bay offers off-road parking for up to three vehicles.

This charming home offers a wonderful blend of character, space, and potential—a true blank canvas ready for its next owners to create lasting memories.
