Description
TWO-BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED BUNGALOW | HINDLEY GREEN | SUBSTANTIAL LOFT SPACE | OFF STREET PARKING | HUGE POTENTIAL A rare opportunity to acquire a two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow with a surprisingly spacious loft, private gardens, garage and off-road parking – offering an exciting opportunity for the next owner to modernise, improve and potentially create substantially more accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. Tucked away just off Maple Avenue in Hindley Green, this individual property offers far more than might first meet the eye. For buyers searching for single-storey living, the existing accommodation provides two good-sized bedrooms, a generous lounge, fitted kitchen, conservatory and bathroom, together with gardens to both the front and rear. However, the real talking point is above. THE BIG OPPORTUNITY The property benefits from a substantial loft measuring approximately 25'4" x 12'3", accessed by a permanent fitted ladder and featuring three Velux windows, making this an unusually bright and potentially versatile space. Subject to planning permission, building regulations and all necessary consents, the loft could provide exciting potential to create additional accommodation, potentially including a substantial principal bedroom and en-suite. For someone prepared to invest and add their own stamp, this could transform an already appealing bungalow into something considerably more substantial. Naturally, buyers should make their own enquiries regarding the feasibility and cost of any proposed conversion. THE CURRENT ACCOMMODATION Entrance Hall Approached via a storm porch and UPVC double-glazed entrance door, the hall provides access to the main accommodation and features laminate flooring. Lounge – 15'7" x 10'11" A particularly well-proportioned reception room with a large UPVC double-glazed window, radiator, laminate flooring and an attractive feature gas fireplace. There is excellent scope here to create a stylish and contemporary living space. Kitchen – 11'1" x 9'9" Fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces, gas hob, double electric oven and extractor. Further features include a one-and-a-half bowl sink, plumbing for a washing machine, partially tiled walls, radiator and UPVC double-glazed window. The kitchen would benefit from some modernisation and offers plenty of scope for a future buyer to create their ideal design. Bedroom One – 11'11" x 10'11" A generous double bedroom with UPVC double-glazed window, radiator and useful wardrobe/storage provision. Bedroom Two – 11'9" x 9'6" A surprisingly spacious second bedroom with UPVC double-glazed window, radiator and laminate flooring. This room also provides access to the loft via the fitted ladder and large hatch. Conservatory – 12'2" x 7'8" An appealing additional reception area accessed from Bedroom Two, with UPVC glazing and doors opening onto the rear garden. Bathroom Fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin with vanity storage. There are partially tiled walls, inset spotlights, radiator and UPVC double-glazed window, with the gas combination boiler housed within a fitted unit. OUTSIDE The property enjoys a private, enclosed rear garden with a flagged patio and established landscaped areas. While some maintenance and updating would enhance the garden further, it already provides a good degree of privacy and offers considerable scope for landscaping and creating a more attractive outdoor entertaining space. To the front, there is a flagged driveway providing off-road parking, together with an artificial landscaped area and access to the garage with up-and-over door. WHY THIS PROPERTY COULD BE DIFFERENT There are plenty of two-bedroom bungalows on the market. What makes this one particularly interesting is the combination of: A semi-detached bungalow + two genuinely good-sized bedrooms + garage + private gardens + off-road parking + an exceptionally useful loft space with three Velux windows. That combination creates possibilities well beyond a straightforward bungalow purchase. Whether you are looking for a comfortable retirement or downsizing property, a home to modernise gradually, an investment opportunity or a project with genuine value-adding potential, this property deserves serious consideration. LOCATION Hindley Green is a well-established residential area with a good range of everyday amenities close by, together with convenient access to Wigan, Leigh and surrounding areas. The location combines a quieter residential setting with practical access to local shops, schools, transport links and the wider road network. PROPERTY AT A GLANCE Two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow Substantial loft space – approx. 25'4" x 12'3" Three Velux windows to loft Potential for additional accommodation, subject to consents Generous lounge with feature gas fireplace Fitted kitchen Conservatory Private enclosed rear garden Off-road parking Garage UPVC double glazing Gas central heating with combination boiler Approximately 928 years remaining on the lease Small annual ground rent Council Tax Band B TENURE & SERVICES Long leasehold with approximately 928 years remaining. Small annual ground rent. Gas central heating, mains electricity, water and drainage. BROADBAND & MOBILE Indicative broadband availability includes standard speeds of approximately 17 Mbps and ultrafast speeds of up to 1,800 Mbps, subject to provider and property availability. Mobile coverage is indicated as available from O2, EE, Three and Vodafone, subject to individual provider coverage. A BUNGALOW WITH A DIFFERENCE... Properties with this combination of bungalow accommodation and substantial loft potential do not come along every day. The existing home is perfectly usable, but for the buyer with vision, there is an opportunity to modernise, improve and potentially unlock considerably more from the property. Early viewing is strongly recommended – particularly for buyers looking for a bungalow where there is genuine scope to create something rather more than the average two-bedroom home.
