Highfield Drive, Winshill

Set on a generous1/3 ACRE PLOT , this three-bedroom bungalow offers bright, spacious living with a 25ft LOUNGE, triple-aspect kitchen diner and peaceful WOODLAND VIEWS. Recently improved but still full of potential, it’s ideal for buyers seeking space to grow-whether finishing the renovation, extending (STPP) or reconfiguring to suit their lifestyle. A rare mix of privacy, versatility and convenience close to Burton-on-Trent’s amenities and transport links.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a practical entrance porch, ideal for shedding coats and shoes. Immediately to the right is a convenient WC with hand wash basin. Straight ahead lies the laundry/boot room, a highly functional space with room for coats, footwear, a washer, dryer, and even an area for drying clothes or ironing.

To the left, you step into the expansive kitchen diner, a bright and sociable room enhanced by triple-aspect windows. The kitchen is designed in a classic L-shaped shaker style, complete with wall and base units, an eye-level oven and microwave, gas hob with extractor fan, and a generous space for an American-style fridge freezer. At the dining end, there is ample room for a full family table and chairs, making this a true hub for daily living.

The kitchen diner flows into the impressive 25ft living room, giving the space an open and connected feel. This standout reception room features a striking bay window with views across the plot and French doors opening directly onto the garden. A charming feature nook sits off to one side-currently used as a study but formerly a wine storage area-offering a unique and versatile touch.

Moving through the hallway, to the right is bedroom three, ideal as a single bedroom, nursery, or home office. Opposite is the newly renovated family bathroom, finished to a modern standard with a double walk-in shower, twin "his and hers" sinks, WC, and full-height tiling.

The second bedroom is a well-proportioned double with plenty of space for wardrobes and furniture, enhanced by an original feature fireplace. The master bedroom is the largest, boasting generous proportions and a beautiful bay window overlooking the surrounding woodland, providing a peaceful and private outlook. The living room also includes a dedicated space for a future exposed log burner, allowing new owners to create an inviting focal point.

Although the current owners have already undertaken a significant amount of improvement work, the property still requires further renovation. Importantly, much of the groundwork has been done, giving prospective buyers an excellent head start and a chance to continue the project to their own taste and specification.

Development potential here is substantial. The bungalow offers scope to extend upwards (subject to planning permission), and the owners previously explored the idea of adding a separate annexe at the lower end of the plot-again subject to planning consent. With approximately one-third of an acre to work with, the possibilities for expansion, redesign, or multi-generational living are considerable.

Location:
The property is situated in Burton-on-Trent, a well-connected Staffordshire town known for its brewing heritage, riverside walks, and strong local amenities.

Its central position makes it ideal for commuters heading towards Derby, Lichfield, Tamworth, or the surrounding villages, while still providing easy reach of green spaces and scenic countryside.
