Willand

This fine bungalow has been the well-loved home of our client's mother for over 25 years and offers spacious, well-appointed accommodation with a good balance of living space and three bedrooms. The accommodation is clean and tidy and suitable to occupy but many may wish to refurbish it throughout to set it up for the next 25, and with the space in the bungalow, it could be modernised a room at a time whilst in residence, if preferred.

Notable features of the property include the large kitchen/dining room, with the kitchen fitted in a timeless oak style with plenty of cupboard and drawer storage, work surface and a fitted double oven and gas hob, with extractor hood over. The sitting room is large with an ornate, feature fireplace, with inlaid tiles and housing a gas fire, and a sliding door to the conservatory.

From the hallway, there is a useful cloakroom and a bathroom with a 'retro', ochre coloured suite! The principal bedroom is particularly spacious with a double wardrobe and large window overlooking the garden, as well as an adjoining small room, which could be readily made into an en suite shower room, nursery or home office if required.

Outside, on approach to the bungalow, there is ample parking leading to the double garage, which is an open span inside. A gate leads to the rear garden, which is a good size and extends around two sides of the bungalow with lawn, a pergola frame, established shrubs, hedge and trees and a dovecote.

The bungalow has the great advantage of an array of photo voltaic (solar electricity) panels on the rear elevations of both the garage and bungalow itself. These not only provide electricity for immediate use but also enjoy the benefit of a strong feed in tariff to the national grid, a useful average annual income of approximately £2,000 to £2,500, which we understand is index linked.
