This charming two-bedroom bungalow sits within approximately 1.5 acres of land and presents an excellent opportunity for modernisation and personalisation, with huge potential to extend and create something truly special.

The accommodation includes a good-sized kitchen diner which can be used as semi open plan or or closed off to create a separate room, providing an excellent space for family living and entertaining, with doors opening directly from the dining room onto the gardens.

Outside, the extensive grounds provide ample space and endless possibilities. A driveway offers parking for two vehicles and leads to a double garage and several garden sheds. The generous plot offers significant scope for extension, subject to any necessary consents, allowing a buyer to create a stunning country residence tailored to their own requirements.

The solar panels on the roof generate a yearly income, providing an additional benefit. With its substantial plot, rural surroundings, beautiful garden outlooks and exceptional potential for enhancement, Waldron Down Lodge offers a rare opportunity to create a fabulous country home in a truly idyllic setting.
