Property description
An opportunity to purchase this detached and extended bungalow, which has been recently modernised and updated by the current owners. Applecross is a genuine ‘tardis’ and could provide a spacious family home or provide annexe facilities if required. The benefits include gas-fired central heating to radiators, fitted alarm system and full double glazing throughout as well as re-fitted bathrooms and kitchen. Broadwell is an attractive small Warwickshire village situated a short drive from Napton where there is a far wider range of day-to-day facilities.
Accommodation Summary
The property has an attractive entrance porch with a stained glass door leading into an entrance lobby. From here there is an opaque casement door leading into an inner hall, which has a cloaks cupboard housing the alarm control panel. From here there is an open walkway into the lounge/dining room. The lounge area has a large picture window overlooking the frontage with a tiled hearth and a log-effect gas fire. This attractive open plan area has two steps leading up to spacious dining room, which also has two windows overlooking the rear garden. There is a useful storage area, painted beams and wall light points.
The breakfast area has fitted cupboards and shelving with an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. There is a display alcove and an open walkway into the kitchen. This well designed room has been recently re-fitted with a comprehensive range of cream fronted base units with a three drawer set, wine rack and an integrated Whirlpool dishwasher. There is a Whirlpool integrated fridge, dishwasher and an electric fan-assisted oven with a four-ring electric hob with an extractor canopy above. There are ample work surface areas with an inset stainless steel sink with mixer tap. There is white ceramic tiling with matching eye-level cupboards with glazed display cupboards and an open display cabinet. From the kitchen there are two wide windows providing attractive views over the garden making the washing up a pleasure! The adjacent utility room has matching cream base and eye-level units with a sink unit and work surfaces. There is space and venting for a tumble dryer and plumbing facilities. There is a side door leading to a useful gardener’s loo with a further door leading to the side of the property. A further lockable door gives direct access to the garage. Off the living room there is a separate inner hallway leading to most of the bedrooms and the extended annexe area.

The main bedroom is an interesting split-level room with a range of quality fitted wardrobes, TV and telephone points.

Quality floor and wall tiles with built in storage and a ladder radiator. Down lighters, extractor fan and triple glazed opaque window.
