5 bed detached bungalow for sale

Old Road, Oulton Heath ST15

Once upon a time...in the enchanted corner of Stone, there stood a charming four-bedroom detached bungalow, benefiting from solar panels, with a convenient annex, a secret waiting to be discovered. Perfect for those seeking a gentle single-story retreat, or a multi-generational happily-ever-after.

Cross the threshold and the tale begins in a grand living room, at the heart of the room, a log burner with traditional surrounds crackles softly. From here, a glazed sliding door opens into a bright conservatory, where the garden drifts inside.

At the very centre of this home lies the kitchen-diner, a place where morning tales are shared over tea. Sleek white cabinetry gleams, and worktops stretch wide. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with a double oven, microwave, electric hob, extractor fan, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a stainless steel sink with drainer, ensuring every meal is part of the adventure. From the sitting area, another glazed door leads to a second conservatory, a serene nook where the beauty of the garden becomes part of the story.

Nestled nearby, a snug awaits, with a large south-facing window that frames the scenery like a painted window in a castle tower. A log burner with traditional surrounds warms the room, creating the perfect retreat for curling up with a book.

The tale continues in the sleeping chambers, where four double bedrooms offer their own chapters. The master suite is complete with an en-suite featuring a bath and shower combination, a vanity wash hand basin, and a W/C. One of the other bedrooms, currently staged as a dining room, holds a delightful secret, an adjoining open dressing area with fitted wardrobes, ready to store treasures, hideaway stories, or prepare for the day ahead.

Two beautifully appointed bathrooms ensure that every moment of the day is met with comfort and charm. Each has a bath and shower combination, a vanity wash hand basin, and a W/C, offering a place to refresh and relax.

Adding to the magic are two generous storage areas, once humble coal stores, now ready to safeguard treasures. Just beyond the walls of the home lies a sheltered undercover store, a secret nook for garden tools or bicycles.

Step outside and discover a delightful garden, offering breathtaking views and the perfect setting for a spot of gardening or alfresco dining. Two separate concrete driveways lead through this enchanted setting, one to the main house, and one to the hidden jewel of the property, the annex.

Entering the annex is like opening a storybook of its own. A kitchen fitted with modern white cabinetry, contrasting worktops, and generous storage welcomes you. It is thoughtfully equipped with a four-burner gas hob, oven, microwave, fridge, and a stainless steel sink with drainer. A shower room, complete with a corner walk-in shower, pedestal wash hand basin, and W/C, adds both practicality and charm. Completing this magical space is a versatile room for guests or family, with glazed French doors spilling light into the room and opening to the garden.
