Description Of Property

Nestled within a sought-after residential setting, this beautifully presented detached bungalow with a thoughtfully converted first floor offers an exceptional blend of versatile living accommodation, contemporary styling, and tranquil landscaped gardens. Extending to approximately 2,388 sq. Ft., the property has been carefully enhanced to create a sophisticated yet welcoming family home perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.

Upon entering, an enclosed entrance porch opens into an elegant reception hall, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. The principal bedroom enjoys an attractive front-facing position, enhanced by charming bow bay windows that flood the room with natural light, together with a spacious contemporary en-suite shower room featuring a large walk-in shower, cream-toned tiling, and an illuminated LED vanity mirror.

A second bedroom is discreetly positioned toward the rear of the property, benefitting from its own independent access and a skylight that creates a bright and airy atmosphere. To the front of the home, a further reception room or optional third bedroom also enjoys bow bay windows and offers superb flexibility for use as a formal sitting room, guest accommodation, or additional family living space.

Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home is the impressive open-plan lounge and dining room situated at the rear of the property. Designed with both entertaining and everyday living in mind, this expansive space is centred around a feature fireplace and complemented by bi-folding doors that seamlessly connect the interior with the rear garden terrace, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months. Adjacent to the living area lies a beautifully appointed modern kitchen, recently renovated to include sleek white cabinetry, contemporary work surfaces, and a range of integrated appliances. A separate utility room provides further practicality, with direct access to the rear garden. Beyond this, a versatile games room or gym benefits from both internal access via the utility room and its own separate entrance from the front of the property, lending itself perfectly to a home business, studio, or leisure suite.

Additional ground floor accommodation includes a dedicated study positioned near the staircase and a well-appointed family bathroom.

The first floor continues the property’s adaptable appeal, with a landing leading to two further bedrooms. Bedroom four is particularly generous in size, occupying much of the upper floor, while bedroom five offers a more intimate and characterful retreat. A separate WC and useful eaves storage complete the upper level, further emphasising the practicality of this cleverly converted loft space.

Externally, the property is approached via an attractive sweeping in-and-out block paved driveway framed by mature evergreen planting and established hedgerows, creating both privacy and impressive kerb appeal. The beautifully landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertaining, featuring a raised decked terrace ideal for alfresco dining, contemporary grey slate pathways, and a gravel walkway leading gracefully through the grounds.

A particularly charming addition is the sleek summer house, complete with French doors opening onto its own private decked seating area - an idyllic setting for home working, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The garden itself is further enhanced by a well-maintained lawn, raised planters, and an abundance of mature trees and evergreen borders that provide a wonderful sense of tranquillity and seclusion.
