Stanstead Abbotts: Rarely Available, Gated Access

Situated in a private and secure gated enclave of just four similar properties, this rarely available detached chalet bungalow offers a spacious and versatile living space, together with a peaceful and secluded rear garden, ample parking and a garage.

The property is ready for immediate occupation, with Upvc double glazing and gas central heating throughout, however there is still plenty of further potential for an incoming buyer to put their own stamp and flair on this lovely home.

The accommodation is set predominantly on the ground floor, with two good size double bedrooms, one of which enjoys en-suite facilities plus a separate bathroom. The large, principal bedroom is located on the first floor and benefits from an en-suite bathroom room and a walk-in wardrobe.

The formal living room, with a large brick built fireplace and attractive wood burner, opens to a conservatory/garden room, a lovely space to sit and look out over the private rear garden. Double doors also lead to a formal dining room. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen/breakfast room that overlooks the front courtyard and a separate utility room, accessed from the hall, with doors opening to the garden.

The property is situated on a generous plot with a pleasant south westerly aspect. The rear garden provides a wonderful, secluded and peaceful space with a patio area, pond and mature planting. A small ‘bridge’ leads across to a further gravelled area and for the green fingered buyers, there is plenty of opportunity to further enhance this great outdoor space. To the front of the house there is a block paved driveway providing ample parking, which in turn leads to the garage.
