Description

This is a very surprisingly spacious property with accommodation on two floors, despite appearing to be a simple bungalow from the front. The property is on a generous plot which slopes down to the rear and a cleverly designed lower ground floor has been added which opens onto the garden at the rear, still with an elevated position and a terrace providing far reaching west facing views. The garden is a fantastic feature of the property, being very well kept with an abundance of mature trees, plants and shrubs with a vegetable garden and shed at the bottom.

The main entrance leads to a hallway with stairs leading down to the lower ground floor. On the entrance level there is a triple aspect sitting/dining room with a fireplace and lovely views. There are three bedrooms (one currently used as a study and one as a dining room) as well as a shower room. The kitchen again has lovely views to the rear and also leads to the utility room which in turn connects to the integral single garage with electric door.

The lower floor has a hallway with storage and a door to the rear, There is a second reception room which is ideal as a'garden room' as it opens to the terrace looking out over the garden. There is a further bedroom and a modern bathroom with separate wc.

The property has plenty of scope to extend with a spacious loft space and additional scope to extend to the rear (subject to planning), perhaps over the existing extension although feasibility would need to be checked by anyone wishing to do so. The property has gas central heating and double glazing.
