A chain-free, extended bungalow occupying an elevated position on the hill, set within an impressive landscaped plot of approximately one third of an acre. Offering around 1,100 sq ft of single-storey accommodation, the property provides three bedrooms, multiple reception areas and a garden room with French doors opening onto the grounds.

The property
The property offers approximately 1,100 sq ft of accommodation arranged across a single floor, with an extended layout providing a practical balance of reception space and bedroom accommodation. An entrance hall provides access to the principal rooms, including three bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, dining room and sitting room. The separate reception areas offer flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining, with scope to arrange the accommodation to suit a variety of requirements.
A particular feature is the garden room, which enjoys French doors opening directly onto the landscaped grounds, creating an attractive connection between the interior and outside space. The accommodation is further complemented by a lobby, utility room and family bathroom, adding to the property's versatility and functionality.
Offered to the market chain free, the bungalow presents an opportunity for buyers seeking single-storey living, with the potential to personalise the accommodation to their own tastes and requirements.
Outside
The bungalow occupies an impressive double plot extending to approximately one third of an acre, enjoying an elevated position on the hill and offering a wonderful amount of outside space. The substantial south-west-facing garden is a particular feature, enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine and having been landscaped to create a varied and appealing arrangement of distinct tiers, sections and tucked-away pockets. This sense of depth and variety gives the grounds a character of their own, with different areas to enjoy throughout the seasons.
The garden offers considerably more than a conventional bungalow plot, with its varied levels creating a succession of spaces to explore and enjoy. The different sections provide opportunities for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening and relaxation, while the established landscaping adds interest and definition throughout. The south-west-facing aspect is especially appealing, allowing the grounds to make the most of the afternoon sun and providing an attractive setting for enjoying warmer evenings outdoors.
The garden room, with its French doors opening directly onto the grounds, creates a natural connection between the accommodation and the outside space. Combined with the property's elevated position, the double-plot setting and the garden's varied layout, this is a notable feature for buyers seeking a home with a substantial and versatile outdoor environment.
To the front, off-road parking provides space for several vehicles, complemented by a garage offering further storage or secure vehicle accommodation. Together, the generous plot, established landscaping and practical parking make the outside space a significant asset to this chain-free bungalow.
