The Downlands, Warminster £400,000

THE PROPERTY

THE PROPERTY is a spacious mature individual detached bungalow, believed to have been built in the early 1950’s, which has colour-washed block elevations under a tiled roof and benefits from Gas-fired central heating to radiators together with Upvc sealed-unit Double Glazing all complemented by a large beautiful private Garden. Occupied by the current owners for the past 25 years and available with no associated sale chain, the bungalow now offers scope for updating, allowing a new owner to restore the property to its former glory and create a home they can truly call their own. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a bungalow ideally suited for retirement, in an exclusive residential area of the town - the property really must be seen to be fully appreciated hence the Agents recommend early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.
