Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this enchanting five/six bedroom property set at the end of a quiet country lane, yet just a few minutes from the centre of the vibrant and popular village of Tewin. Enjoying grounds of just under one acre and with spacious, flexible accommodation, this is a sizeable chalet bungalow with almost unlimited opportunities to configure the space for your particular needs. The layout enables the house to be easily separated into multiple living spaces, ideal for multi generational living, including three/four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor if so desired, along with three separate entrance doors set along the extensive frontage. Offered chain free, the house would benefit from a light-touch refurbishment to turn it into a wonderful family home, with a parquet floor in the traditional herringbone pattern gracing the majority of the ground floor. The alternative, subject to the necessary consents, would be a larger but ultimately incredibly rewarding project to reconfigure the space either partially or completely to make the absolute best of the idyllic and rarely available size of plot in such a tranquil yet well placed location.

Given the local and neighbouring precedence, there is tremendous potential to double the existing footprint, subject to planning permission.
