Property DESCRIPTIONThis stunning detached bungalow offers a very special and unique layout, with the converted and extended garage providing two bedrooms with en-suites and a secondary internal hallway which is ideal for a holiday rental option. The bedrooms and hallway have dedicated front and rear access, with a kitchenette/utility area which can be separated for their use but sits within the original footprint of the bungalow. The original layout enjoys two nicely proportioned bedrooms and a wide entrance hallway, with a paddle staircase providing access to the loft area, a wonderful space with natural light gained by the velux window and ideal for providing further storage.
The lounge area leads through to the extended kitchen/diner, offering a large log burning stove and cosy yet social setting. The kitchen/diner is truly stunning, with twin patio doors and roof lanterns flooding natural light through the space. A kitchen island and counter with a wide window provide a peak out to the side garden and a smart finish to the room. The rear garden is a sunny aspect, with a small courtyard area which is separated for use of holiday rental bedrooms, whilst the grass lawn, summer house and workshop offer plenty of outdoors space for the bungalow.
