Owner's comments

"After our initial viewing of this bungalow, everything felt just right. Although it required some work to freshen it up, that was exactly what we were seeking. Several features stood out to us during our first visit: the two gardens, while not enormous, are of the perfect size, and the south-facing garden at the back receives ample sunlight. Additionally, the conservatory, which connects to the living room, is a fantastic addition. When the pair of doors are open, the space feels expansive and airy, allowing plenty of natural light to enter. The bungalow has undergone a complete renovation with many improvements made, ensuring it will be a lovely home for the next occupant."

Accommodation

Stepping into the welcoming porch which is filled with light, there is a useful space for storage for shoes while a further front door opens into the hallway. Here, access is given to almost all of the accommodation, with a kitchen to the left-hand side. Space is provided for all necessary appliances, including a freestanding fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Additionally, there is also space for an electric cooker and an abundance of fitted storage cupboards and drawers, while there is also an inset stainless steel sink/drainer and ample work surface space. Straight ahead of the hallway is a sociable sitting area, which enjoys plenty of light streaming through double doors and windows that blend into a modern conservatory. Boasting a wonderful south facing aspect at the back of the home, the conservatory is also brimming with light and makes for a lovely entertaining and/or dining space, which opens up to the garden via double doors to the side. 

The hall bends round to the right where the Two double bedrooms are served by a recently upgraded bathroom with contemporary refinements. There is a WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and a panelled bath with shower over. There are stylish black fitments, mixed with a partially boarded surround. An airing cupboard makes for some handy storage and houses the boiler, while access is provided into the loft from the hallway too. Bedroom two faces the front and is a comfortable double room, currently arranged as an office, while the main bedroom benefits from a view over the garden at the rear. It is another comprehensive double room, which like the rest of the home, has been wonderfully decorated and beautifully presented.

Outside & parking

Given the quality of the interior, the external space is predictably equally well arranged. The cul-de-sac position makes for a quietly tucked away home which is accessed via a short path from the parking area. The front garden is opened up through a wooden gate and a path evenly splitting two well-maintained sections of lawn and leading up to the front door. A hardstanding and shingle area allows space to keep bins neatly out the way, while the large front garden adds a degree of privacy being set back from neighbouring properties. There is an array of colourful shrubbery also adding some colour and access at the side of the property can be found on the right hand side.

A pedestrian gate opens into the rear garden, which like the front, is fully enclosed and perfect for anyone with small children and/or pets. A patio adjoins the back of the home and is stepped out onto from double doors from the conservatory. An outside water supply is connected and it is clear to see that plenty of time has been spent outside to landscape the outside area. The current owners have created a simple yet attractive garden which captures the sun all day long, from its lovely south facing aspect. It is bordered with feather edge fencing at each side and at the back. Timber sleepers create a raised flower bed at the rear, while a hardstanding area hosts a useful storage shed. The whole outside is a sociable area which is ideal for entertaining guests.
