Detached bungalow for sale in High Lane West, West Hallam, Ilkeston DE7

An individually built three bedroom detached bungalow on an exceptional garden plot of just under half an acre. Beautifully presented and maintained rear gardens backing onto farmland. Popular Derbyshire village. This bungalow offers fantastic potential and viewing is recommended.

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to purchase a three bedroom detached bungalow on an exceptionally large garden plot of just under half an acre in this sought after village location.

Offered for sale for the first time in a generation and built by the current family offers a hidden secret that cannot be seen from the front. This secret is somewhat surprising fact that as well as the immaculately maintained formal gardens, these gardens then stretch out to a private and secluded additional garden of just over a third of an acre. What's more, the rear boundary of this additional garden backs onto farmland and open fields on the edge of Mapperley and Shipley Country Park Estate.

The property comes to the market with vacant possession. Benefitting from central heating and double glazing, the accommodation currently comprises dining kitchen, lounge, inner hallway with access to three bedrooms, one of which has been used as a sitting room with a conservatory beyond. There is also a modern shower room/WC.

Whilst the property is very much habitable, we expect that any purchaser would wish to modernise and adapt to their own needs. There is a possibility of re-modelling and re-developing to exploit the aspect to the rear (of course, any significant alterations will require relevant permissions, etc).

Situated on High Lane West in this sought after Derbyshire village of West Hallam, which has a great community feel and a small parade of shops in the village itself, with the nearby market town of Ilkeston offering a variety of shops and facilities, including supermarkets and a train station. For those who enjoy the outdoors, there are many footpaths and bridleways into the open countryside, including Shipley Country Park and the Nutbrook Trail.

This opportunity will suite a variety of buyers but in particular those looking for a large amount of open space and gardens to enjoy.
