Detached bungalow for sale in The Bungalows, Streatham Road, London SW16

This is an extremely rare chance to purchase a bungalow in a road actually called The Bungalows, on the borders of SW16 /SW17 and CR4. The name of the road gives you a clue. However many of the properties have been turned into detached two/three storey houses. This is one of a few remaining original built 1930s bungalows and they come up for sale in what seems like once in a generation.
This charming property whilst dated and requiring renovation is liveable, a wooden and glass panel creating a porch across the entrance is hiding the original curve of the twin bays either side of the front door. The rear garden is south facing so weather permitting should be pleasant.
There should be scope to raise the roof and put in Dorma constructions, if required, enabling two good sized extra bedrooms in the loft and an extra bathroom STPP.
I suspect a full width rear extension would be possible within permitted development. All of this would create a very spacious home. Personally I think it would be a shame to destroy a bungalow but there are plenty of precedents in the road if building your own detached conventional house suits your purposes.
Located on the cusp of Tooting, Furzedown and the Figges Marsh area it has many bus links and is walking distance to Tooting, Streatham and Mitcham centres.
