About this home

Occupying a substantial plot within the highly sought-after Generals Wood area of Washington, this impressive three bedroom detached bungalow offers an exceptional amount of space both inside and out, in a location where properties are always in high demand.

The generous proportions are immediately apparent, with spacious accommodation throughout and a layout that works particularly well for those looking for plenty of room while keeping everything on one level.

At the centre of the home is the exceptionally spacious living room. Large sliding doors span much of the room, flooding the space with natural light and opening directly out to the front garden, creating a wonderful connection between the home and its outdoor surroundings. There is plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining, making this a fantastic main living space.

The kitchen is equally generous, providing an excellent amount of worktop and storage space alongside a dedicated dining area. From here, the accommodation continues into a separate utility area, offering further practical space alongside a WC.

All three bedrooms are generous doubles. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from its own dressing room and en-suite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms provide plenty of space for bedroom furniture. The main bathroom is beautifully finished with both a bath and separate walk-in shower.

One of the biggest features of this home is undoubtedly the outside space. The property sits within a substantial plot, with beautifully maintained gardens wrapping around almost the entire bungalow and giving the home a fantastic sense of space and privacy. Expansive lawns are complemented by established trees, shrubs and planting, while paved areas provide plenty of room for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining. With the garden visible from several areas of the home and the sliding doors opening directly outside from the living room, the outdoor space feels like a real extension of the accommodation.

To the front, an extensive block-paved driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to a substantial detached double garage, offering excellent additional parking, storage or workshop space.

Generals Wood is an extremely desirable part of Washington, and the combination of its sought-after setting, substantial plot and generous accommodation makes this a particularly appealing bungalow. With three double bedrooms, fantastic living space, extensive gardens and a detached double garage, this is a home that needs to be viewed to fully appreciate everything it has to offer.
