The Property

This is the closest you will get to a 60-year-old new build house! Although built-in 1964/5 in the last 10 years this property has undergone a remarkable transformation enlarging it substantially and literally taking it down to the bare plaster. During the refurbishment a substantial extension created a lovely sitting room complete with woodburning stove and bi-fold doors and at the same time a principal bedroom was created on the first floor complete with a beautifully appointed shower room.

The property is organised around the hallway on the ground floor with a stylish and contemporary oak and glass staircase rising to the first floor with, to one side, a doorway through to the living accommodation. The principal day room of the property is undoubtedly the kitchen/dining room which has a dining area to one end and a contemporary kitchen to the other. It is equipped with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards and integral appliances that include an electric double oven, an induction hob and a fridge. Beside the kitchen there is a useful and spacious utility room with both the kitchen and the utility room laid to an attractive yet practical ceramic tile floor. Beyond the kitchen is the sitting room with a woodburning stove as its focal point with bi-fold doors to one end that allow the divide to be blurred between the inside and outside spaces during the summer months. On the other side of the hallway there are three good bedrooms served by a well organised fully tiled bathroom with a shower over the bath. Upstairs the principal bedroom is served by another contemporary shower room while off the landing there is a walk-in airing cupboard with a useful attic storeroom beyond. The property is in outstanding decorative order throughout and has contemporary UPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating.

Outside

To the front of the house a driveway lies to the centre of a large formal front garden with areas of lawn either side edged by herbaceous shrubs and tree planting. The driveway provides parking for a number of cars and is laid to a non-slip resin. The rear gardens are a particular feature of the property and are organised for ease of maintenance with a large expanse of paved terrace immediately to the rear edged by some lovely stone walls with mature herb planting above and espaliered apples running along the fence line. Down below the main expansive of terrace there is a lawn with two useful timber sheds to the bottom one of which is a potting shed. Besides the bungalow there is a useful timber store besides which there is a vegetable garden with raised vegetable beds. Beyond the end of the garden is a second driveway and parking providing access to a detached garage. It is equipped with an electric roller blind door, light and power.
