Fairways Drive, Blackwell

Summary
NO ONWARD CHAIN
A rare opportunity to acquire this charming two bedroom bungalow, tucked away upon a quiet cul-de-sac and set behind a generous frontage with extensive driveway. The property enjoys both a front garden and a private rear garden and offers excellent potential for enhancement, with planning permission approved in December 2025 for a single storey rear and side extension, along with a detached garage to the front. Ideally positioned within the highly sought after village of Blackwell, the home benefits from convenient access to a local convenience store, a renowned golf club, and a highly regarded first school.
Description
The accommodation begins with a charming arched, enclosed porch which opens into the entrance hall, featuring an open coat cupboard providing useful storage. The hall leads through to the modern kitchen, fitted with base cupboards and complemented by an integrated eye level oven, gas hob and extractor fan. There is space for a fridge/freezer. A side door from the kitchen provides convenient external access and an alternative entry point into the property.
The generous living/dining room benefits from a bay window overlooking the front garden, allowing plenty of natural light, together with an electric fire.
An inner hall adjoining the living room provides a useful storage cupboard, loft hatch access and leads to the sleeping accommodation. The principal double bedroom offers space for wardrobes and enjoys the added benefit of a private door opening directly into the rear garden. There is also a second bedroom (able to accommodate a double bed) and a modern shower room completing the internal accommodation.

Outside
The rear garden features a patio area covered by a pergola across the whole of the back, creating an ideal space to sit, whatever the weather. Beyond lies a lawn with steps leading up to a slightly elevated second lawn, retained with railway sleepers. The garden is enclosed by fencing with established hedging along the rear boundary and one side, providing a good degree of privacy.
The property enjoys a substantial frontage with extensive block paved parking providing space for multiple vehicles, garage with up and over door (containing the recently installed Worcester combi boiler), alongside an area of lawned garden. Side access is also available.
The property is approached via a shared access driveway with just two other properties.
Future Development
Planning permission was approved in December 2025 for a single-storey rear and side extension and the construction of a detached garage to the front. The approved plans would increase the bedroom sizes, add an en suite, and create an open-plan kitchen/dining space at the rear of the property. The proposed detached double garage would measure approximately 4.68m x 3.54m and be positioned at the front of the plot.
