Entrance Vestibule

The formal entrance to the bungalow is to the front of the house where you approach the front door via a flagged path running alongside the garden. You step into a vestibule and a perfect place for kicking off shoes and hanging coats. There is some shelving and a storage cupboard and an internal door leading to the living room.

Living Room

Kitchen

This is a bright room, full of natural light from the two windows to the rear and side elevations and from the opaque glazed door that leads to the rear garden. The kitchen has been extended which creates space for a breakfast table alongside the white fitted cabinets at wall and base level, with contrasting worksurfaces over and being tiled to the splashbacks. There is a free-standing electric cooker with a recirculating extractor over, an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer, and under-counter space for a fridge. The house has been used as a second home and for this reason there is no plumbing or dedicated space for a washing machine but a simple modification to the cabinets in the corner by the sink could remedy this easily. The floor is tiled and there is a useful storage cupboard for house hold items.
