This substantial double room offers ample space for a king-size bed alongside a comprehensive range of freestanding bedroom furniture. To the left of the hallway is a recently updated contemporary shower room, attractively finished with a white suite comprising a WC, wash basin with vanity storage and a large walk-in shower cubicle with Aqua Panel surround. A chrome heated towel rail and LED mirrored cabinet provide further modern touches, while a useful airing cupboard also houses the boiler. The sitting/dining room is positioned at the rear of the property and provides a particularly pleasant and sociable reception space. Generously proportioned, there is ample room for a comfortable living room suite alongside a dining table and chairs, while a window overlooks the rear garden and a single door provides direct access outside onto the raised decking. A further door leads through into the fitted kitchen, which comprises a comprehensive range of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers amongst ample work surface space. Appliances include a built-in double electric oven with five-ring gas hob and fitted extractor canopy over, while a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer sits beneath a window to the front aspect. There is additional space for a washing machine and freestanding fridge/freezer, together with a useful built-in breakfast bar providing an informal place to sit and dine. An internal door from the kitchen provides direct access into the adjoining single garage, creating excellent additional storage and practicality. The garage is accessed from the front via a traditional up-and-over door, while a further pedestrian door at the rear opens directly into the garden. Outside & parking

To the front of the bungalow is a hardstanding driveway positioned immediately in front of the garage, providing convenient off-road parking. Alongside this is a generous shingled area, attractively arranged for ease of maintenance while also offering the potential for further off-road parking when required. The adjoining single garage provides valuable parking and storage space, with the added convenience of internal access from the kitchen and a separate pedestrian door leading into the rear garden. The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide an attractive outside space requiring minimal ongoing maintenance. Immediately adjoining the rear of the bungalow is a slightly raised area of decking, accessed directly from the sitting/dining room and providing an ideal spot to sit and relax during the warmer months. Beyond is a generous paved patio, creating further space for outdoor furniture, barbecues and al fresco dining. Benefitting from a desirable southerly-facing aspect, the garden enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day while its low-maintenance design makes it particularly easy to enjoy all year round.
