3 bed detached bungalow for sale

The Woodlands, Alveley, Bridgnorth WV15

A detached bungalow combining an open fireplace and renewed living spaces with established gardens, productive planting and extensive parking alongside the garage.

Description

Owls Clough brings together traditional bungalow character and thoughtful improvements, including new windows, a renewed kitchen and a contemporary bathroom. The kitchen and dining room opens into a garden room with bi-fold doors to the garden, while a separate living room centres on an open fireplace. Three bedrooms comprise two doubles and a single. Outside, the large plot includes established gardens, fruit trees, a vegetable garden and greenhouse, alongside a garage and parking for six or more cars. The plot and substantial loft also offer potential for further extension or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions and confirmation of feasibility.

The living accommodation
The renewed kitchen combines classic panelled cabinetry with timber effect work surfaces, a built in double oven, integrated dishwasher and integrated washing machine, with a sink positioned beneath a broad window. Cupboards and drawers wrap around the cooking area, leaving a distinct space for dining within the same room. A wide opening connects this space to the garden room.

An open fireplace gives the separate living room its focal point, with a textured stone surround, substantial timber mantel and dark hearth introducing character and warmth. The curved bay window draws the frontage into the room, while ceiling coving adds a traditional finishing detail.

Opening directly from the kitchen and dining room, the garden room extends the living accommodation towards the garden. Broad bi-fold doors span much of the rear wall, framing the planting outside and opening onto the paved terrace.

A sheltered entrance leads into the hallway, which forms the central route through the bungalow. A useful cupboard provides space for coats and also gives access to the loft.

The bedrooms and bathroom
The primary bedroom occupies the front of the bungalow, where a curved bay window echoes the architectural character of the living room. A second window on the adjoining wall creates a dual aspect, while built-in wardrobes provide ample storage.

The second bedroom is another double, positioned towards the rear of the home with a broad window overlooking garden. Its straightforward shape allows flexibility in the arrangement of bedroom furniture, while ceiling coving gives the room a traditional finish. The third bedroom provides space for a single bedroom or home working, with a rear facing window bringing the garden into view.

The renewed bathroom features a walk in shower behind a clear glass screen, with a rainfall head and separate handheld attachment. Grey marble effect wall tiling is complemented by a wall hung WC, vanity basin and tall heated towel rail. A separate WC is also accessed from the hallway, providing an additional facility alongside the main bathroom.

The garden and parking
Immediately behind the garden room, a broad paved terrace creates a direct connection between the living accommodation and the garden. Established shrubs and flowering borders soften its edges, with hydrangeas bringing colour close to the home. Beyond, a substantial lawn is framed by mature trees and planting, with paths tracing the garden edges and linking its different areas.

Productive planting adds another dimension to the plot, with fruit trees, a vegetable growing area and a greenhouse supporting home cultivation. At the front, a further lawn, shrubs and a low brick wall frame the bungalow’s twin bays, creating an established setting that complements the more extensive garden behind.

The broad driveway provides parking for six or more cars and leads to a brick garage with an up and over door, while the recessed entrance provides a sheltered arrival beneath climbing greenery.

Fees

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.

No compliance or verification work shall be commenced until the reservation fee has been received in cleared funds.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
