The bungalow offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted storage, providing excellent bedroom accommodation. The main bathroom is well appointed and includes a separate shower, alongside the usual bathroom facilities.
A particularly appealing feature of the property is the provision of two separate loft conversion spaces, one accessed via floating and stairs, and the other by a ladder, each benefiting from Velux skylights. These areas provide valuable additional accommodation and could offer a range of uses, subject to any necessary consents and regulations, such as home offices, hobbies, storage or occasional additional living space.
