About the property Believed to have been constructed during the late 1990s, this detached bungalow was constructed by respected local builders, Messrs. Grantham Brothers, and has brick-faced cavity walls beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The windows are timber-framed, double-glazed units with diamond-lattice panes and heating is by a gas central heating boiler with hot water cylinder for the domestic hot water. There is also a gas fire in the lounge.

The property stands on a surprisingly large plot, not readily apparent due to the plants and shrubs growing in the gardens, and includes fruit trees, paved seating areas and a kitchen garden. There is a car port at the side of the house which also shelters the main entrance into the bungalow on the side elevation, whilst also leading to an attached garage at the rear.

Car Port Constructed on metal tubular supports, the timber-framed roof of the car port has an opaque polycarbonate roof covering and to the side wall of the bungalow there is an external water tap, a mailbox, a key safe and a sensor wall lantern.

Gardens The property is entered over a concrete-paved driveway leading to the car port and garage. On the left side of the driveway, there is a dense mixed shrubbery bed of surprising width with fencing to the boundary and a mixture of ornamental shrubs, conifer hedging and roses.

The bungalow is set behind a front garden which is largely laid to gravel for ease of maintenance, with two block-paved panels to stand ornamental pots or tubs, a variety of ornamental shrubs and bushes, further rose trees and a low fence along the front boundary.

A concrete-paved pathway leads across the front of the bungalow and around to a side garden area, comprising a concrete-paved pathway with gravel border, a further outside tap, external gas meter cabinet and hardstanding area to store wheelie bins. There is a bulkhead outside light close to the kitchen window.

The rear garden is of surprising size and arranged as a flagstone paved patio immediately to the rear with a concrete path to the garage door, a timber garden shed and metal-framed greenhouse. This area is separated from the garden beyond by espalier-trained fruit trees and a pathway leads across to the screen door at the side of the garage from the front of the property.

The garden beyond is separated to form a gravelled seating area, flagstone patio, an old timber-framed summer house in need of removal or repair and a very established apple tree to the side. The garden is largely enclosed by tall hedges and a number of shrubs while to the side of the gravelled area there is kitchen garden with a brick and ornamental block wall with pillars. A pathway leads around the kitchen garden area and back to the screen door by the garage.

There is a fair width of ground at the side of the garage, but this is densely planted with shrubs at present.
