Pipers Ash, Church Road, Christian Malford, Nr. Chippenham, Wiltshire
Summary
A detached three-bedroom bungalow occupying a mature plot of approximately half an acre, with a large attic, attached garage and considerable scope for updating and further development, subject to the necessary consents.
Description
Pipers Ash offers an appealing opportunity to acquire a well-kept detached bungalow in generous gardens, with scope for a purchaser to modernise the existing accommodation and explore the wider potential of the property and its grounds.
Extending to approximately 0.5 acre (0.20 hectare), the plot is a particular feature. Extensive areas of lawn, established trees and mature planting provide an attractive setting and a sense of space around the bungalow. The grounds offer considerable possibilities for keen gardeners and buyers seeking room to extend or pursue further development, subject to planning permission and any other necessary consents.
The property is in good order but would benefit from updating, allowing an incoming owner to adapt the interiors to their own requirements. The existing layout provides three bedrooms, a shower room, kitchen and well-proportioned reception rooms.
A further notable feature is the large attic space, currently used for storage and as a hobby area. This provides useful additional space and offers potential for alternative uses or conversion, subject to assessment of access, headroom and structural suitability, together with the necessary approvals.
