Description

The Accommodation

Upon entering the property, a welcoming central entrance hall sets an inviting tone, providing access to all principal living spaces, built-in storage options, and the main sleeping quarters.

Positioned to the front of the home, the dual-aspect sitting room serves as a bright and comfortable principal reception area. A generous picture window looks out across the front grounds, filling the room with abundant natural light, while a second side window adds to the airy atmosphere. At the heart of the room rests a charming, recessed log-burning stove set within a simple fireplace opening, creating a cosy focal point perfect for cooler months.

Adjacent to the sitting room lies the dual-aspect kitchen and dining room, offering a functional layout with ample scope for modern updates. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units incorporating a stainless-steel sink with drainer, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and practical worktops extending into a convenient wall-mounted breakfast bar. A large window overlooks the garden, while useful built-in pantry and storage cupboards sit quietly off the main space.

The sleeping accommodation is neatly grouped to the opposite side of the hallway, comprising three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom sits quietly at the far rear of the property, offering a peaceful retreat with generous proportions. Bedroom two is another good-sized double room positioned to the front aspect, whilst bedroom three overlooks the rear, providing a versatile space ideal for a home office, nursery, or single bedroom.

Completing the interior, the shower room and cloakroom are cleverly split for practicality. The separate shower room features a walk-in shower enclosure with modern shower fittings and a wash hand basin, while an adjacent separate cloakroom houses the WC. Useful built-in linen and coat storage cupboards are situated along the hallway, further enhancing the day-to-day functionality of this well-balanced bungalow.

Outside

Set within an exceptional, secluded plot enveloped by mature trees and countryside views, the bungalow is approached via a private driveway providing ample parking and leading to a substantial detached double garage. Wrapping around the residence, the vast lawned gardens feature a variety of specimen trees, established hedgerows, a glazed entrance porch, and useful outbuildings including a greenhouse, offering a delightfully tranquil setting with immense potential for outdoor living and gardening enthusiasts alike.
