Description
Charming Detached Bungalow on a Generous Site with Exceptional Potential Nestled in a peaceful rural setting, this 2-bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property with enormous potential in a highly sought-after and accessible location. While the residence would benefit from modernisation and refurbishment, it provides the perfect canvas for buyers looking to create a wonderful family home tailored to their own tastes and requirements. Situated just a short drive from Ballybrittas Village, with shops, schools, local amenities and everyday conveniences close at hand, the property also boasts excellent connectivity. The nearby M7 motorway provides easy access to Dublin, making the capital reachable in approximately 40 minutes, as well as offering convenient access to Portlaoise, Kildare and beyond. Occupying a substantial site, one of the property's standout features is its exceptionally large garden. Whether your dream is to create beautiful landscaped gardens, establish a vegetable plot, provide a safe outdoor haven for children, or simply enjoy the privacy and space that are becoming increasingly difficult to find, this impressive site offers endless possibilities. The bungalow itself extends to provide comfortable accommodation with excellent scope for enhancement. Buyers can modernise, extend (subject to any necessary permissions), and transform the house into a stunning countryside residence while adding considerable value in the process. The property is serviced by oil-fired central heating and also benefits from a large detached shed, providing valuable storage space, workshop facilities, or potential for a variety of hobby and recreational uses. In today's market, where securing planning permission for a new home can be both challenging and costly, the opportunity to purchase an existing detached residence on such a generous site is becoming increasingly rare. This property allows purchasers to bypass many of those obstacles and instead focus on creating their ideal home through renovation and upgrading. Whether you are a first-time buyer seeking a project, a family looking for space and tranquillity, or an individual searching for a rewarding renovation opportunity, this property represents exceptional value and untapped potential.
