3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Waresley Road, Hartlebury, Kidderminster DY11

Exceptional refurbishment pairs a quartz island kitchen and elegant interiors with landscaped gardens and covered entertaining, all within a gated village setting.

Description

Completely refurbished to a very high standard, this detached bungalow combines exceptional presentation with carefully considered finishes throughout. Detailed cabinetry, wall panelling and beautifully appointed bathrooms establish a consistent quality, while the kitchen and dining room and separate living room both open to the rear garden through bifold doors. Three bedrooms include a primary suite with its own shower room. Outside, the landscaped plot features a substantial covered entertaining area, extending the appeal of the home well beyond its interiors.

The living areas
Elegantly detailed cabinetry and a quartz island give the kitchen a finish of particular distinction. Panelled doors, glazed display cupboards and substantial work surfaces combine with a matching cooker surround, creating a carefully coordinated space with considerable storage.

The island incorporates breakfast seating, making it a sociable centre for the kitchen and dining room. Herringbone patterned flooring and wall panelling continue the home's meticulous finish, while bifold doors open directly to the landscaped terrace for dining and entertaining outdoors.

A finely detailed media wall brings together an inset contemporary fire and illuminated display recesses, giving the living room a luxurious focal point. Wall panelling and herringbone patterned flooring reinforce the quality of finish, with broad bi-fold doors opening to the garden.

The entrance hall establishes the standard found throughout, with decorative wall mouldings, cornicing and herringbone patterned flooring. Dark panelled doors provide a striking architectural contrast, while glazed double doors introduce the living room at the rear.

The bedrooms and bathrooms
A bay window and fitted wardrobes with overhead cupboards give the primary bedroom both character and substantial storage. Its private en suite continues the refined finish with a glazed shower enclosure, vanity basin and coordinated gold toned fittings against large format tiling.

The second bedroom occupies the other front bay, echoing the balanced architecture of the frontage. Its extended window recess adds depth to the room, while the broad internal proportions provide space for a double bed and accompanying furniture.

Fitted wardrobes and drawers make particularly effective use of the third bedroom, retaining clear space around the bed. A side window lights the room, which could also provide a dedicated home office if three bedrooms are not required.

The bathroom has been finished with particular attention to detail, pairing a freestanding fluted bath with twin basins above a matching vanity unit. Gold toned fittings, wall mouldings and an illuminated recess within the large format tiled bath wall complete the luxurious presentation.

The gardens and parking
Broad paved terraces extend across the rear of the bungalow, connecting both principal living spaces with the landscaped garden. A central area of artificial lawn adds a contrasting green finish, creating a carefully arranged setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and recreation.

A substantial timber framed gazebo provides a sheltered entertaining area beside the terrace. Its exposed roof timbers, paved floor and screened sides create an inviting extension of the living space, with room to bring dining and seating together beneath one roof.

The front garden presents the bungalow's twin gables and bay windows across an orderly arrangement of pale paving and decorative gravel. Broad steps rise to the entrance terrace, giving the approach a considered finish that reflects the standard within.

Substantial gates between brick piers introduce a long, wide driveway, with extensive parking along the approach and a broader area beside the detached garage. Tall fencing defines the drive, while a separate pedestrian gate connects the parking area with the front garden.

Fees

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained.

This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
