Externally there are larger than average well stocked gardens with the distinct bonus of a double garage/workshop and parking for numerous vehicles.

Looking for a modernised three bedroom bungalow, set on a large plot offering privacy and in a quiet rural location yet within easy reach of local towns and amenities? Then look no further as we bring to market this fine example of an interconnecting property that has been tastefully modernised by the current vendors and as such, certainly warrants an early viewing. Set on a sizeable plot with delightful front and rear gardens, this bungalow is welcoming, warm and is very well presented. On entry, you will find yourself in the bright triple aspect entry porch. From there, the thoroughly modern kitchen/diner comes with gloss cream/ivory, soft close units accompanied by beech work surfaces and metro tiled splash backs. There are a number of integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher along with a separate island/breakfast bar that features a built-in electric hob with a stainless steel island hood over. From the kitchen, you can access the double aspect lounge/living room which overlooks the front garden and has a multi fuel burner set on a granite hearth within a recessed fireplace with an oak lintel above. Off the kitchen, you will find a rear triple aspect porch that gives direct access to a block paved patio and out into the rear garden. The flow through from the kitchen accesses a t-shaped hallway from which the bedrooms can be accessed. There is a double bedroom at the front of the property with the added bonus of a full length built-in wardrobe with sliding mirrored doors. A second bedroom can also be found at the front of the property. It should be noted that the current vendors have re-purposed the rear bedroom into a 2nd lounge/sitting room which overlooks the decking area of the rear garden courtesy of UPVC French doors. However, new owners may wish to re-purpose it back to a bedroom. The bedrooms are complemented by a very tastefully presented family shower room with a large walk-in shower, fitted with a thermostatic shower. Heating is via electric radiators complemented by double glazing throughout. Hot water is via a Megaflo pressurised cylinder. Externally, the striking frontage is courtesy of a recently replaced front wall. An initial driveway with parking for up to three vehicles leads to electric gates which open onto a secondary driveway, offering further parking for multiple vehicles. There is a double garage come workshop at the rear of the secondary driveway. The front and rear gardens wraparound the property and are a delight and would certainly appeal to those who love their gardens and are looking for generously sized and interesting outdoor space.
