This property is now ripe for renovation, modernisation or potential redevelopment, with neighbouring homes having been significantly enhanced in recent years - providing an excellent precedent for buyers seeking a project with real upside (subject to the necessary planning consents).
The current accommodation includes two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and hallway, offering a simple and practical layout with scope to reconfigure or extend.
Buyers should note that the bungalow is of single skin construction, and is therefore best suited to those looking for a refurbishment or redevelopment opportunity.
Further benefits include solar panels and a relatively recently refurbished roof, helping underpin the long-term potential of the home.
A truly exciting chance to secure a property with enormous scope in one of Norfolk's most desirable village communities.

CONSTRUCTION: It is believed the property is constructed with only a single layer of bricks.
Understanding Single Skin Properties A single skin property is constructed with a single layer of bricks, lacking the cavity that modern homes typically have. This construction method can lead to several issues, such as structural weaknesses, poor insulation, and increased susceptibility to dampness. These factors make lenders cautious when considering mortgage applications for such properties.
Mortgage Availability Lender Considerations: While some lenders will consider mortgages for single skin properties, their willingness often depends on the findings of a surveyor's report. Lenders want to ensure that the property is structurally sound and assess any potential risks associated with the construction type.
Risk Factors: Lenders view single skin properties as higher risk due to potential structural issues and lower resale value. This can lead to stricter lending criteria, including higher deposit requirements or limited loan amounts.
