Elgin Crescent, Caterham, Surrey, CR3

This detached bungalow is located in a tucked away private road and is offered with no onward chain. The property is in need of substantial modernisation and updating but offers a great opportunity to put your own stamp on your next home. The accommodation currently is arranged with four bedrooms but could be reconfigured to suit. The front door leads to the entrance hall with built in cloaks cupboard, access to loft and doors to all rooms. The double aspect living room overlooks the side and rear and there is a fireplace and door to the sun-room. The sun-room opens onto the garden but is in need of repair or replacement. There is a refitted kitchen to the front with a modern range of base and wall units with work surfaces over and tile splash-backs as well as space for appliances and a door to the side. The bathroom is fitted with a coloured suite and there is a separate WC. There are currently four bedrooms currently with two double rooms and two single rooms.

Outside, there is a single garage to the side with driveway parking to the front and space for further driveway if required. The southerly facing gardens measure a third of an acre and are currently overgrow but the plot widens significantly to the rear and comprises a level lawn adjoining the rear of the property with a terraced garden stepping up to the side. The gardens enjoy and open outlook over the valley and there are number of established trees, shrubs and bushes.

In our opinion the property offers huge scope to extend and update subject to the usual consents and several properties in the road have been substantially extended.
