4 bed detached bungalow for sale

The Paddock, Lovells Court, Burton Street, Marnhull DT10

An impressive and substantial bungalow in the heart of Marnhull situated on a private road, whilst set back along its own driveway and surrounded by its own gardens.

The Property

An extensive bungalow with impressive flowing space and a fine balance of living and bedroom accommodation, the main rooms being accessed easily from the large entrance hallway which itself has a large coats cupboard.
The drawing room has an open fireplace with period designed surround and picture windows facing the south & western aspects. The kitchen is a substantial size with plenty of space for an island and all the usual wall and floor units and includes the oil fired Aga. There is space for a large dining table and this is adjacent to the conservatory giving light and more seating through the sliding glass doors, if required. The kitchen links well with the huge utility room which houses sink, hot water tanks, all the washing and drying machines and also gives access to the garden. It also links to the office, quietly away from the main part of the house. There is a WC and a large walk in storage room. It also links to the garage.

The principal bedroom has been extended in recent years to provide a dressing room to one end and the en suite bathroom to the other whilst still retaining more built in wardrobes. There is a large double second or guest bedroom and two smaller double bedrooms with the refurbished family shower room opposite.

Outside

The house sits centrally in its own sizable plot. An impressive private drive runs at the side of the house to a large parking and turning area as well as the double garage, one door being an electric up and over. The gardens are either the eastern or western sides of the house with the eastern part housing a hidden shed set next to the long wall on the village side of the property. The south and western garden is accessed via the conservatory or the utility room and is mainly laid to a level lawn with mature hedging and trees. The house is in an enclosed spot with trees surrounding the property but it remains close to the shops around the corner but also tucked away on the private road of Lovells Court.
