Description

This attractive bungalow was originally built in the 1970s and has been subject to an extensive programme of renovations by the vendor, to create a stylish and well appointed home. Recent updates include an extension to create the open plan kitchen/living/dining room, installing larger windows to increase the natural light and constructing the garage. The house has been improved and is equipped with all the desired modern conveniences, such as underfloor heating, premium engineered wood and Amtico flooring and oak internal doors. The house is set within splendid, well-established gardens and there is ample off-street parking and a triple garage affording annexe potential, subject to obtained necessary consents.

The accommodation is bright and airy with excellent light, with a flowing layout separating the entertaining space and the bedrooms and family accommodation. On the east side of the house, the open plan kitchen and dining room is a fabulous asset, with bifold doors on both sides of the extension opening to the outside terrace. The kitchen has a pantry and is appointed with a variety of premium Smeg appliances, including an undercounter wine fridge and a double oven with warming drawers, while a Quooker tap provides instant boiling and filtered water on demand. The Sauté & Soak cabinets offer masses of storage and there’s a central island with an oak breakfast bar; and brass hardware complementing the contemporary styling.

Separate to the open plan space there is a formal sitting room at the front of the house with an adjoining office. The principal bedroom is spacious, with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room, while the guest bedroom is also en suite and the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom. There is a separate cloakroom and a utility/boot room for laundry machines. The detached garage has a first-floor storage space that offers great potential as an annexe or studio, subject to necessary consents.

The gardens are perfectly designed for entertaining: a generous lawn is enclosed by mature trees and hedges, making it feel very private, and there’s a sizeable porcelain-tiled terrace and deck adjoining the kitchen/living/dining room which has a barbecue area and plenty of space for alfresco meals. The wraparound garden are beautifully landscaped with an array of plants adding colour and texture. There are fruiting apple and plum trees as well as a greenhouse and a kitchen garden. The front of the property is walled with a gated entrance opening to a generous gravel driveway, which sweeps around to a ample parking area, courtyard and the detached triple garage which has an external 16amp power point for motorhomes or electric cars.
