Walesby, Lincolnshire Wolds LN8 3UW

Following high levels of interest, best and final offers should be received no later than 12 noon on Saturday 18th November. An interesting opportunity to acquire a renovation/re-development project in a prime Wolds village with a large plot of around 0.6 of an acre (subject to survey). The spacious detached bungalow has 3 bedrooms, two reception rooms, large hallway, bathroom, kitchen, boot room/lobby, utility room, cloakroom/WC and an attached garage with workshop/store. Extensive garden with stable and tack room. For sale with NO CHAIN.

About Springfield This individual detached bungalow is believed to date back to around 1980 and has a combination of brick and natural stone-faced main walls under a pitched concrete tiled roof. The windows are uPVC double glazed and there is a gas central heating system. The accommodation is well proportioned as is readily apparent from the floor plan.

The bungalow has vertical cracks to the lower area of the inner leaf walls to the rear left corner in particular. The property has also just been cleared of a rat infestation and remedial works will also be required in this respect. We anticipate that most buyers would look to modernise the kitchen, bathroom, etc. at the same time.

Alternatively, buyers may well wish to investigate a full re-development or renovation and development scheme, subject to planning and building regulation consent as the plot is large enough for at least one additional dwelling, or replacement of the original building with at least two dwellings. The local planning authority is the West Lindsey District Council.

The property represents a unique opportunity to create one or more valuable homes.
