Introduction:

Set in its own, beautifully tended grounds, this inviting mid-century bungalow is set back from a quiet leafy street behind a neat brick drive to the garage. The private entrance opens to a welcoming entrance hall where a cupboard has room for coats and bags and a large loft is overhead – and neighbouring homes have extended up, stnc.
At the back, the elegant living room with a gleaming wood floor is ideal for sophisticated entertaining as it maximises enjoyment of the garden with windows in three walls to frame the leafy view and floor to ceiling doors which slide across to bring the outside in during summer. With ample space to share, it’s a room to enjoy come rain or shine with a gas fire already in place.
There’s an easy flow to the kitchen at the heart of the home, which has classic shaker units and practical worktops which won’t date and the kitchen is well-designed to offer plenty of storage alongside an integrated oven and gas hob, leaving space for freestanding appliances which can stay.
Outside, the garden is a tranquil oasis, perfect for keen gardeners, the borders around the lawn are well-established with plants chosen for all year interest. Two graceful magnolia trees flower beautifully during the spring and there are plum, pear, apple and cherry trees, alongside raspberry bushes, lavender and rosemary which bring fragrant aromas to a summer’s day, and there’s plenty of space for a conservatory or extension if you wanted.
Returning inside, the first of the double bedrooms is bright and cheerful and across the hall ( which don’t forget has a big attic above it), the central bathroom is light, airy and user friendly for any generation.
Nestled in the middle of the house, the guest room is private with a chic en-suite, and at the back, the romantic principal bedroom is quiet and comfortable, opening to the delights of the garden.

Vendors Comments:

“This property has been a fantastic family home where our parents loved to entertain friends and family or simply potter in the garden – something they were really passionate about. They enjoyed the convenience of the area with easy access in and out of the city, but also being so close to the South Downs, surrounded by fresh air and greenery. We have made many happy memories here as a family, so we will be sad to see it go, but we hope the next owners love it just as much as we do.”
