Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac among similar properties, this well-presented three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous plot and is offered with no forward chain.

The property has been immaculately maintained by the current owners and offers a spacious, flexible layout comprising an entrance lobby leading into a dual-aspect lounge with windows to the front and side. Double doors open into the dining room, which in turn provides access to the conservatory via sliding doors, enjoying views over the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer, a gas cooker point, and space for a freestanding fridge and freezer.

There are three bedrooms, the third bedroom has fitted wardrobes which houses plumbing and space for a washing machine. The spacious bathroom includes a low-level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, panelled bath, bidet, and walk-in double shower cubicle with a mains-fed wall-mounted shower.

Externally, the property sits on a generous plot with ample parking, including a driveway adjacent to the bungalow. To the bottom of the garden, a driveway provide access to a garage and double gates which hide an additional parking area. The well-maintained garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by flowering shrubs and established borders, and enjoys a particularly private rear aspect which is not overlooked.

Overall, this is an impressive bungalow that must be viewed to fully appreciate the space, setting, and privacy it has to offer.
