About this property
Description
Tucked away within a generous wrap-around plot and enjoying truly breathtaking countryside views, this beautifully presented two-bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful rural living while still remaining conveniently connected to local amenities.
Set in the charming village of East Stour, the property is perfectly positioned. Just a five-minute drive away you will find West Stour Garage, ideal for day-to-day groceries and household essentials. In the opposite direction lies the ever-popular Udder Farm Shop, a wonderful community hub offering a welcoming café, fresh local produce, as well as a beauticians, hairdressers and gym. East Stour itself also benefits from a village hall and play park, adding to the appeal of this friendly countryside location.
Approached through double wooden gates and a walled entrance, the home immediately provides a wonderful sense of privacy. A gravelled driveway offers ample parking, while the spectacular open horizon views can be appreciated from the moment you arrive.
Stepping inside, you are greeted by a spacious and light-filled entrance hallway, enhanced by glazing beside the front door. The tiled flooring is both practical and stylish, with plenty of space for coats, shoes, wellies and even muddy paws after countryside walks. A useful storage cupboard is also located off the hall.
The accommodation includes two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is bright and airy with ample room for furnishings, and further benefits from its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is equally well-proportioned and is served by the main bathroom, complete with a bath and window for natural ventilation.
Throughout, the bungalow has been clearly well cared for, with a warm and welcoming feel and high-quality finishes flowing from room to room.
To the rear, the property truly comes into its own, with stunning views framed through every window. The sitting room is both spacious and inviting, centred around a cosy woodburner that creates the perfect atmosphere on winter evenings. Characterful wooden-framed double-glazed windows add charm, while neutral modern tiling provides a blank canvas for new owners.
The layout offers a wonderful open-plan feel, with the sitting room flowing seamlessly into the dining area. This impressive space has been built to a high standard, featuring triple aspect floor-to-ceiling windows that maximise both light and the surrounding scenery. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, ideal for enjoying a morning coffee with birdsong in this peaceful rural setting.
The kitchen sits perfectly between open-plan living and the option of separation, with glass-panelled doors allowing light to travel throughout the home. It is well equipped with a breakfast area, integrated appliances and plenty of storage, as well as an additional external access point.
Outside, the garden has been immaculately maintained, with attention to detail evident at every turn. A charming wildlife pond with surrounding rockery provides a haven for frogs and visiting wildlife, while neatly clipped hedges and a lawned area create a tranquil setting. The patio space is ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or summer barbecues, all while taking in the uninterrupted countryside backdrop. A summer house offers yet another spot to relax and enjoy the changing seasons and remarkable views.
Peacefully located and truly one of a kind, this impressive bungalow must be seen to be fully appreciated - a wonderful countryside retreat not to be missed.
