Church Lane, Dore, S17 3GS

A fantastic and rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this two-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a good-sized plot on Church Lane in Dore village and offering an exceptional amount of potential.

Likely to appeal to a wide range of buyers, the property benefits from generous room proportions, a large loft room, a substantial basement level extending beneath the full footprint of the building, a sizeable two-storey detached garage, and additional vehicle access from Furness Avenue. Offered with no upward chain, the bungalow requires a degree of modernisation but presents an exciting opportunity for renovation, extension, or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space and potential on offer.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hallway with cloaks cupboard, leading to a bright and airy kitchen diner. The dining area enjoys a south-facing bay window with views over the garden and fitted floor to ceiling cupboards. The kitchen has a range of fitted wall and base units, south-facing window and side entrance door providing access to the upper driveway. The large living room has a feature electric fire place and a south facing bay window overlooks the garden.

To the front of the property are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a large front-facing bay window and two built-in double wardrobes. The second bedroom also benefits from a large front-facing window, fitted wardrobes and with pedestal wash hand basin. The fully tiled bathroom comprises a low-flush WC, pedestal wash hand basin, bidet, large walk-in shower cubicle with large safety fold-down shower seat, and a side-facing obscure-glazed window and extractor fan.

From the hallway, ladder stairs provide access to a large loft room, which has previously been used as an occasional guest bedroom. This impressive space includes a built-in wardrobe, access to extensive eaves storage with scope to create further usable space, and a large rear-facing dormer window enjoying fabulous countryside views.

Externally and accessed from the rear garden level, the basement extends beneath the full footprint of the property, with reduced headroom towards the front of the building. Currently providing excellent storage and the central heating boiler/hot water cylinder & all utility meters, this area offers superb potential for buyers seeking to renovate or create additional accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions.

The property further benefits from a particularly impressive detached brick-built garage with a pitched roof, accessed via the driveway from Church Lane. There is an array of solar panels fitted to the roof providing a beneficial FITS income. The upper level has been used as a workshop and laundry area with utility sink and WC. Beneath the workshop space is a lower-level garage complete with Pod Point car charging, accessed from the rear via a drive from Furness Avenue, adding further versatility and practicality.

Outside, the bungalow has a sizeable front driveway, an artificial lawned frontage, and a cotoneaster hedge. The driveway leads to a good size carport with large double timber gates beyond, giving access to the workshop and rear kitchen door. External steps lead down to the rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio and an additional driveway accessed from Furness Avenue. There is a mixed hedge to the east boundary and beech hedge to the west boundary aspect.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow with outstanding scope in a desirable village setting, an easy walk to all amenities. Whether purchased as a renovation project with the potential to create a larger dwelling, or as a sound long-term home for those looking to downsize, the property offers space, versatility, and significant future potential in one of Sheffield's most desirable locations within the heart of Dore village.
