About this home

A beautifully presented and exceptionally well-maintained three-bedroom detached bungalow, offering generously proportioned accommodation, a stylish refitted interior, air conditioning, a delightful and secluded rear garden, ample off-road parking and a single garage.

Occupying a convenient position within easy reach of a wide range of local shops, supermarkets and everyday amenities, the property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a home that has been thoughtfully maintained and enhanced by its current owners. With its spacious reception areas, three genuine double bedrooms and attractive gardens, the bungalow offers a versatile layout ideally suited to a variety of buyers, including those looking to downsize without compromising on space.

Upon entering the property, an entrance porch provides a practical and welcoming introduction before leading through to an impressive reception hall. Generously proportioned and finished with attractive Karndean flooring, the hallway creates an immediate sense of space and provides a central point from which the accommodation flows. A useful built-in cupboard offers valuable additional storage, helping to maintain the clean and uncluttered feel of the interior.

The sleeping accommodation comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each offering flexibility for a range of uses, whether as comfortable bedrooms, a guest room or a dedicated home office. The property is further complemented by a stylish, generously sized refitted shower room, finished to provide a contemporary and practical space for everyday use.

Undoubtedly one of the property's principal attractions is the impressive dual-aspect sitting/dining room.

There is ample room to accommodate both comfortable lounge furniture and a substantial dining suite, making it an ideal setting for everything from relaxed evenings at home to entertaining family and friends. Air conditioning provides an additional level of comfort, while the double doors opening directly onto the rear garden enhance the sense of space and create a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoor surroundings.

The kitchen has been modernised and refitted to provide a contemporary and well-appointed environment, with a built-in oven and hob and a layout designed to make practical use of the available space. Its position within the property complements the overall flow of the accommodation, while the modern finish adds to the bungalow's well-maintained and appealing presentation.

Outside, the property continues to impress with its attractive and notably private gardens. The rear garden measures approximately 46ft wide by 29ft deep, providing a generous outdoor space that is both practical and enjoyable. A combination of lawn and paved patio creates distinct areas for relaxation, outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. The double doors from the sitting/dining room open directly onto the garden, making it particularly convenient to enjoy the outdoor space throughout the summer.

In addition to the main rear garden, a further side garden incorporates mature planted borders, adding established greenery and helping to create an excellent degree of seclusion. Together, these outdoor areas offer a pleasant setting for gardening enthusiasts, those who enjoy entertaining outdoors or buyers simply looking for a private place to unwind.

A covered side passage provides convenient access between the front and rear of the property, adding further practicality.
