Description

Three Bedroom Detached Bungalow For Sale In Little Preston, Northamptonshire.

This property needs updating so please take a very good look at the video and pictures before booking a viewing - but what an opportunity for refurbishment, as is, or creating an even bigger space, to live in a very sought-after area of Northamptonshire.

Fernlea is dated and the garden needs rejuvenating back to life too.

Buyers will need to come into this property with their eyes open.

At a Guide Price of £400,000 it really is up to you to decide what you would like to pay for this property.

Fernlea is a sizeable detached bungalow, on a generous plot, in a lovely Northamptonshire hamlet, with a large detached double garage, driveway parking and plenty of creative opportunity.

And plenty of scope for extension.

Please make sure you watch the property video before booking a viewing so you don’t waste your time, or ours - the video gives the clearest feel for the layout, condition and overall opportunity.

Please read the detail below before making a viewing appointment.

Please do not enter the curtilage of the property without prior permission.

EXPRESS SALE

This property must be sold.

We would politely ask that only buyers in a position to buy may apply to purchase this property.

If you would like help with borrowing money, finding a local lawyer or buying this property in general, please just ask.

Just a quick word on our ‘Express Sale’, which we think you’ll find really encouraging as a buyer…

We will be looking to achieve an exchange of contracts within 28 days, subject to the legal process.

Steps have been taken using our ‘Express Sale Method’ to help facilitate a quick legal commitment to purchase.

The sale pack is ready with the seller’s solicitors, with searches included (costs to be paid by the purchaser on completion), and can be sent straight to your solicitor as soon as your offer is accepted.

Don’t worry - we have a team on hand to help make this happen for you.

This isn’t a reflection on the property… just a perfected method that we have now been using for a while to help buyers and sellers move more quickly.

If you have any questions about this, please just ask.

If you are in a position to purchase and would like a more detailed look around, feel free to contact the Campbells team to book your own private viewing on Saturday 17th or come to the ‘open house’ on Sunday 18th October.

ABOUT THIS PROPERTY

The property offers around 1,000 sq. ft of accommodation, not including the garage, and sits on a plot that wraps around the bungalow with gardens to the front, side and rear.

There is also a large detached double garage and driveway parking for three cars.

The Propfix Team at Campbells have worked hard to help bring the property to market, including clearing the home, making it secure, carrying out some maintenance jobs and cutting back the gardens so that buyers can now see the property properly.

The bathroom is functional but clearly ready for modernisation. It currently has a bath with shower screen, WC and wash basin.

The living space is where you start to see how flexible the bungalow could become.

There is a large lounge with an exposed brick chimney breast, giving the room a natural focal point. It is an impressive size and, with the right attention, could become a really comfortable main living space.

There are two further reception areas, giving you options for a dining room, sitting room, study or family space depending on how you want to use the home. One of these rooms has doors leading into the conservatory, which sits to the rear of the property and looks out across the garden.

In our opinion, the conservatory will need to be removed, which will give you a great opportunity to repurpose this space.

The kitchen is a good size, with plenty of units, worktop space, an integrated oven and hob, and views over the garden. Like the rest of the property, it will require updating, but the room itself is a sensible shape and gives a future owner plenty to work with.

The oil fired heating and hot water system is only a few years old.

Outside, the plot itself, is generous.

When you visit, we can show you what the gardens did look like, when John, the owner used to look after them.

There is established boundary hedging, paved areas, a former pergola area, an old pond area but plenty of room to re-think the outside space completely.

The detached double garage is a real asset. It gives excellent storage, workshop potential or secure parking, while the driveway provides parking for three cars.

You might consider extending the size of the property - extending another floor? A lapsed planning application is available to view - now there is an opportunity.

Little Preston is a small Northamptonshire hamlet surrounded by beautiful countryside - the area itself is worth exploring, you won't be disappointed.

It is the sort of setting that will appeal to someone who wants village or hamlet life, surrounded by countryside, a quieter pace, without feeling completely cut off. We have met a lot of the neighbours during the preparation of the property, and they have been lovely.

So there you have it - if you are genuinely interested then feel free to get in touch with our property team.

Industry affiliations:

Campbells are trusted local estate agents covering Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. Established in 1989, we have decades of experience helping people successfully sell and buy property.

Our aim is simple: to help our clients achieve the most amount of money, in the quickest amount of time, with the least amount of inconvenience.

We know that every seller is different. Your circumstances, timescale, property and priorities all matter, which is why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to selling a home.

At Campbells, we offer different methods of sale and will recommend the strategy we believe gives you the best possible chance of achieving your goals. That might mean generating competition, preparing more thoroughly before going to market or finding ways to make the legal process quicker and more secure.

We also put a great deal of emphasis on helping buyers.

Buying a home can be just as stressful as selling one, so our team is here to help you understand the local market, find suitable properties, arrange viewings, negotiate with confidence and guide you through the process from your initial search right through to collecting the keys.

We also work closely with buyers who are actively looking in Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, often helping to match them with suitable homes before they might otherwise have found them.

Our approach is based on honest advice, good communication and doing things properly from the very beginning. Our 5-star reviews reflect the relationships we build with our clients and the level of service our team works hard to provide.

Whether you're thinking of selling, searching for your next home or simply want some straightforward property advice, our door is always open.
