A three-bedroom bungalow in need of renovation and set in over half an acre of gardens will go under the hammer at auction next month.

Selling agents Auction House East Anglia describe the property, which dates back to the 1950s, as a “delightfully situated” bungalow in Hoveton and within walking distance of the “capital” of the Norfolk Broads.

The property has been owned by the same family for over 40 years and is now being sold vacant. It is in need of some updating and refurbishment and could be further developed – subject to planning.

It is set in just over half an acre of gardens and consent has previously been granted for an additional property to be built in its gardens. However, Auction House East Anglia says this has now lapsed and advises that new purchasers would need to contact the relevant authorities regarding any alternative planning approvals.
