The property is approached via a private driveway, which leads to an area of off-road parking for numerous vehicles, laid to stone chippings. A pathway then gives access to the main entrance of the bungalow. Occupying a wonderful plot measuring approximately 0.30 acres, Beech Bungalow enjoys attractive gardens, presented in two main areas. The first, adjoining the parking area, is a large section of lawn with planting, shrubs and established borders. This part of the property also includes a deck seating area and is enclosed by fencing and mature hedging. The second section of the garden is gated, laid to stone chippings and patio for lower maintenance, and provides a lovely space for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is space within the grounds of the bungalow for storage sheds, or perhaps a cabin (subject to any necessary consents), should a purchaser wish to work from home.
