Detached bungalow for sale in St. Swithuns Close, Worcester WR5

A spacious bungalow situated on a generous plot.

Outside, there is a generous sized block paved driveway providing ample parking. The mature grounds wrap around the front, side and rear of the property. Given the large size of the grounds, there is huge potential here for extending, subject to gaining the usual planning consents. There is also a garage, a gardener’s WC and a store/coal shed.
