Offered with no onward chain, Hill Close represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached bungalow occupying an elevated and private position in one of Baildon's most sought-after residential settings.

The property is approached across a large, flagged stone patio to a useful entrance porch, which in turn opens through a glazed door into a spacious reception hall. The living areas are approached via glazed double doors into the living/dining area, which is extremely spacious. Further glazed double doors from the hallway open into a good sized garden room, which is open to the living area.

The bungalow also offers considerable scope for extension, featuring a substantial boarded loft space with potential for conversion into additional living space, subject to the necessary permissions. The large, detached double garage, offering further exciting possibilities for conversion into a home office, gym or studio, again subject to the relevant consents.
Externally the property benefits from lawns to the front and side elevations , a large South facing patio and further, raised lawned area to the rear.
While the bungalow would now benefit from modernisation, the asking price has been set to reflect the improvements required, allowing a purchaser the opportunity to create an individual home to their own specification while enjoying the considerable advantages of the plot and setting from the outset.
For clarity, the building plot identified on the accompanying site plan is being marketed separately and does not form part of the sale of Hill Close. Although historically forming part of the wider grounds, the separate plot is situated at a lower level than the bungalow and away from it's principle garden areas. Importantly, Hill Close retains it's own generous private garden was approx. 0.35 acres. The building plot also extends to approx. 0.35 acres and benefits from full planning permission. As part of the approved scheme, an approx. six metre-wide biodiversity area runs directly to the Eastern side of the bungalow. Although this area forms part of the separate building plot for planning purposes, it is not available for development under the approved scheme and is to remain as a biodiversity area, providing additional separation between the respective areas. The biodiversity area has been roped off on site so that prospective buyers can clearly identify it's position during a viewing. The accompanying site plan illustrates the relationship between Hill Close, it's retained garden and woodland, the separately marketed building plot and the biodiversity area.
