Exterior

A wonderfully established rear garden provides a peaceful extension of the living accommodation, offering privacy, beautiful greenery and a setting that has been cherished over the years.

The surrounding greenery provides a reassuring sense of seclusion, making this a particularly appealing space to enjoy time outdoors away from the demands of everyday life. Immediately beyond the expansive sliding doors, a paved patio creates the ideal setting for outdoor dining furniture, relaxed summer afternoons or entertaining friends and family. Practicality has also been thoughtfully considered, with side access available on both sides of the bungalow, providing convenient routes between the front and rear of the property, both with gated entry for additional security.
