The window lets in natural light, while there’s ample room for a dining table, making it ideal for casual family dining.


The principal bedroom and en suite
The principal bedroom is a spacious, bright room with a window overlooking the gardens. It benefits from an ensuite shower room with a white suite including a WC, bidet, wash basin and shower cubicle, and features an obscure window to the side. While functional, the ensuite would benefit from a modern update, making it a great opportunity for personalisation.

These three double bedrooms are in a quieter part of the home, along with the family bathroom. Each bedroom has a garden view, offering a tranquil atmosphere. The bedrooms can be easily reconfigured or repurposed to meet the needs of the new owner, with Bedroom five being particularly versatile and suitable for use as a dining room if desired.


The family bathroom
The family bathroom completes the bungalow with a three-piece suite that includes a bath with an overhead shower, WC and wash basin. An obscure window provides light and ventilation. Like other areas of the home, the bathroom would benefit from a modern touch, creating the perfect opportunity to add personalisation.


The gardens
The expansive gardens, which surround the property, are fully enclosed and bordered partly by mature trees that enhance privacy. The grounds feature a large lawn with structured planting, specimen trees and an ornamental pond. Whether enjoyed for relaxation or outdoor activities, this beautifully landscaped space is a highlight of the property.


The garages and outbuildings
Several outbuildings accompany the property, including three garages and a storage room. The largest garage spans almost 800 sq. ft., providing valuable storage and potential for various uses. These buildings offer opportunities to be converted into office spaces or even additional accommodation (subject to planning).


The driveway
The property is accessed from the road through a red brick entrance with wrought iron gates leading up a spacious driveway. The drive provides ample parking and access to the outbuildings and bungalow, with a thick tree line at the front ensuring privacy from the road.


Development opportunity

Similar properties in the area have undergone successful development, making this an attractive prospect for those looking to invest and develop in a highly desirable location.
