Whitehall Lane, Checkendon, Reading, Oxfordshire, RG8

Set within the sought-after village of Checkendon, this detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity, coming to the market for the first time since it was built in the early 1960s and having remained in the same ownership ever since.

The property has clearly been a much-loved home for many years and now presents an exciting opportunity for its next owner. Currently arranged as a three-bedroom bungalow, it offers comfortable accommodation as it stands, together with considerable potential to extend, remodel or potentially redevelop, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The house is approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking and is surrounded by an established garden. A separate side driveway leads through to the rear of the plot, where there is a paddock, stables and a range of useful outbuildings.

Extending to approximately 1.1 acres in total, the combination of the generous plot, paddock, equestrian facilities and independent access makes this a particularly versatile proposition, whether retaining and enhancing the existing home or creating something more substantial for the future.
