Property description

Set in a lovely position with gardens, grounds and paddocks of just over 8 acres, a detached bungalow in need of updating with timber stables and outbuildings, set in a village location just outside Bradford on Avon.

DESCRIPTION Built from Bath stone in 1936 with an extension in 1975, the property sits well within its mature gardens and grounds. In need of updating, the bungalow benefits from two timber stables, garaging and an outbuilding which could suit a variety of uses. There is potential to extend and update making a super home with lovely views. The property is located on the edge of the village of Westwood, and the countryside around is picturesque with Iford Manor, Freshford Manor and the Kennet and Avon canal on the doorstep.

THE ACCOMMODATION There is an ample parking area leading to the back door and utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier with a separate cloakroom. A conservatory and sun room give access to the original front door with entrance hall and door into the sitting room which overlook the gardens. The galley kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden floor and wall units, a sink, built-in electric double oven and separate hob. This leads into the dining room which has the original picture rail and built-in cupboards. The main bedroom is at the front and has built-in wardrobes and a picture rail as does the second bedroom also with built-in wardrobes, sink and a picture rail. The shower room is fitted with a coloured suite. An open wooden staircase leads up to the attic room with dormer window and additional attic storage room. In need of updating and improvement, the bungalow really does benefit from a generous and mature plot with potential to create an exceptional home.

OUTSIDE The lovely gardens surround the property and are mainly laid to lawn with some established trees and shrubs. There are a selection of fruit trees, magnolia, beech and walnut. There is a double garage with workshop area, parking and a further single concrete garage.

THE LAND With a separate access from the road, there is a paddock to the side of the house with two timber stables and a tack/feed room. There is also an additional metal framed outbuilding (11.42m x 3.55m) which can be used as further loose animal housing, a hay barn or machinery store. The land is level and extends to the front of the property and is enclosed by mature hedges and post and wire fencing, in all the paddocks extend to just under 6.5 acres. There is a further road access to the paddocks from the main road. This would suit someone wishing to have horses or other livestock.
