A spacious detached bungalow that has been extended to create bright open-plan accommodation enjoying views over the south facing garden.

Paddock Piece is detached bungalow that has been imaginatively extended by the current owners to provide a bright and modern open-plan concept that overlooks the south facing garden. On entering the property, a spacious hallway leads on the left to three good size bedrooms all sharing a bathroom. An office lies adjacent to the entrance hall, with a fourth bedroom, shower room and utility room to the right. Straight ahead of the entrance is the open plan kitchen, sitting, dining and family area enjoying light from windows on three sides as well as in the ceiling. An open fireplace in the sitting area provides extra warmth on cold nights and two sets of sliding doors bring the ‘outside in’. The kitchen is fitted with both base and tall cabinets in white with integrated appliances and an island with breakfast bar. The whole area makes for a great entertaining and sociable space.
