Introduction & Exterior

Cheslyn Drive is a peaceful and private no-through road in the centre of Cheslyn Hay comprising of just seven homes. Amongst them is this remarkable semi-detached bungalow that occupies a superb plot and is perfectly finished both inside and out. The bungalow is set back from Cheslyn Drive behind a wide block-paved driveway that can accommodate three cars side-by-side and has an attractive raised flower bed to the left. An external tap is fitted to the front making it easy for those who like to keep their vehicles and driveway clean. A modern composite front door opens into the porch at the front of the building whereas a secure gate to the right opens into the rear garden.

Viewers will find the rear garden of this home astonishing. No expense has been spared in landscaping a garden that rises away from the home to a top level where a summer house is positioned. The summer house is currently used to house a laz-y-spa hot tub which may or may not be left as part of the sale, dependant on the offer received.

At ground level there is an expanse of flagstone patio laid around the conservatory extension to allow for a range of outdoor furniture to be positioned. A brick retaining wall has been erected with steps in the centre to rise up to the second level which has synthetic lawn laid either side of a flagstone path with block edging. The third and final level has sleepers to retain and further steps leading up a gravel area with lighter stones leading the way to the summer house entrance. Again, attractive flower beds have been created to the borders and tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.

Bungalow Interior

Viewers enter the home into a porch that continues to the left providing ample room for guests to removes and store coats and shoes. A large, double-glazed window ensures that the porch is naturally bright. It’s worth noting that all external doors and windows feature double-glazing. A second secure door then continues from the porch into the inner hallway and from here there are doors branching off to both bedrooms, the family shower room and the lounge. There is also an airing cupboard housing the gas central heating combination boiler and a large pull-down hatch above with folding ladder to access an impressive loft space that is board and thickly insulated.

The family shower room is very stylish with a large shower cubicle neatly fitted into a recess at the rear of the room that has both a storm head and regular detachable shower head for washing the body. The remaining suite comprises of a combi-unit with was basin, toilet and cabinet, a chrome heated towel rail, a wall-mounted backlit mirror, and this is all complemented by modern tiling to the walls.

Bedroom one is at the rear of the bungalow and is an outstanding double bedroom with a window looking out to the garden and lovely wood-effect flooring. This same flooring is laid in bedroom two, which is currently set out as a dining room but equally works well as a home office or double bedroom.

The lounge is the main reception room in this home and, with dining designated elsewhere, is a fabulous space for the family to relax. A wonderful fireplace surround has been fitted to the front of the chimney breast at the left side of the room, with a log burner-style electric fire fitted. Again, this is available dependent on the offer received. Viewers will find it difficult to not have their attention drawn to the eye-catching conservatory that has been built off the lounge and has two sets of French doors to both enter from the lounge and exit to the flagstone patio. The conservatory has windows to all three directions offering an almost panoramic view of the garden and a stunning glass lantern ceiling that is bordered by spotlights.  

At the front of the lounge is a door opening to the utility room. Originally the kitchen, the utility room is an excellent size and features a suite of cream, hi-gloss units mounted to the floor and up high with laminated wood-effect surfaces and a stainless-steel sink with drainer fitted in front of the window. Spaces with plumbing are available for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The final room in the house is the extraordinary kitchen that has been converted from the original garage to provide a room stretching over twenty-three feet in length. The fetching modern suite is fitted to the front and majority of the right side and includes a magnificent range of integrated appliances. This include a dishwasher, fan-assisted electric oven, microwave and a five-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan. A perfect recess has been created for a fridge freezer to be positioned. At the rear of the room is space for a breakfast table, and there are French doors out to the rear with a singular door opening to the side.
