Avocet Close, Oulton Broad South

Occupying a desirable position within a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after area of Oulton Broad South, this spacious detached bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a home with both immediate comfort and excellent future potential.

Offered to the market chain free, the property benefits from planning permission already in place for front and rear extensions, together with approval to replace the existing flat roof with a pitched roof, creating scope to substantially enhance the accommodation.

A porch entrance welcomes you into the home and opens into an inner hallway, which provides access to the principal accommodation. The hallway creates a practical flow throughout the bungalow, with each room conveniently arranged from a central point, helping to maximise the sense of space and functionality.

The main reception area is an impressive open-plan living and dining room, thoughtfully designed to cater for both everyday living and social occasions. Flooded with natural light from a large window and sliding patio doors overlooking the rear garden, this generous space enjoys a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the day. A charming brick fireplace serves as an attractive focal point, while the versatile layout provides ample room for a range of seating and dining furniture, making it ideal for modern family living.

The kitchen is fitted with a selection of cabinetry, a sink and drainer unit, a freestanding oven and designated areas for additional appliances. Whilst functional in its current form, the space offers plenty of opportunity for modernisation, allowing buyers to create a kitchen tailored to their own tastes and requirements. With the benefit of approved planning permission, there is considerable potential to enlarge and reconfigure this area, creating an expansive kitchen and living environment that could form the heart of the home.

The bungalow offers flexible bedroom accommodation, perfectly suited to a variety of lifestyles. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size and benefits from built-in storage, providing excellent practicality alongside ample space for further furnishings. The remaining two bedrooms are well-proportioned and could easily serve as guest rooms, children's bedrooms, a home office or hobby room, depending on individual requirements.

Serving the bedrooms is a shower room fitted with a three-piece suite, complemented by a useful boiler cupboard.

Outside, the property continues to impress with its extensive south-facing rear garden. Designed to make the most of its sunny orientation, the outdoor space features a patio area, ideal for outdoor seating. Beyond the patio, a sweeping lawn extends across the garden, providing excellent space for recreation, gardening enthusiasts or future landscaping projects.

To the front, a sizeable garden contributes to the property's attractive kerb appeal and creates an appealing approach to the home. A paved driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a single garage. Currently offering excellent storage space, the garage also presents potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary consents, making it an adaptable feature for future needs.
