The Approach

Occupying an attractive position on a quiet cul-de-sac, 18 Lark Rise is approached via a driveway bordered by established greenery, leading towards the attached garage and welcoming entrance.

With its neatly proportioned exterior and leafy surroundings, the bungalow offers an inviting first impression and an exciting glimpse of the potential within.

The Accommodation

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway, providing a central connection between the principal living accommodation, bedrooms and shower room.

Positioned to one side of the bungalow, the generously proportioned lounge/diner is undoubtedly one of the property’s standout features. Extending from the front towards the rear of the home, this substantial reception room offers excellent flexibility for arranging comfortable seating and a dedicated dining area. A large front-facing window welcomes natural light, while a traditional fireplace creates a focal point within the room. Towards the rear, glazed doors open into the conservatory, establishing an attractive connection between the main living space and the garden beyond. The room’s generous proportions provide an excellent opportunity to introduce a fresh decorative scheme while retaining its comfortable and sociable character.

The conservatory offers an additional reception area, surrounded by glazing and overlooking the greenery of the rear garden. The space enjoys an abundance of natural light and provides a lovely setting for a relaxed seating area, reading corner or informal dining space.

The separate kitchen is positioned conveniently alongside the lounge/diner and features a practical arrangement of fitted cupboards, work surfaces and an electric cooker. A window above the sink provides an outlook towards the garden, while an external door offers direct access outside. Currently presented with traditional cabinetry and finishes, the kitchen presents an exciting opportunity for a contemporary redesign, with scope to create a stylish and functional space suited to modern everyday living.

The bedroom accommodation is well arranged, with three rooms offering flexibility to suit a variety of requirements. Bedroom one is a comfortable double room featuring a large window and an extensive arrangement of fitted wardrobes and overhead storage, providing useful practicality.
