Step inside and it’s instantly clear this isn’t your standard bungalow.

The whole place has been opened up, extended and properly thought through - creating a home that’s as good for slow Sunday mornings as it is for having everyone round.

The main living space is where it all happens. A huge open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a vaulted ceiling overhead and bi-folding doors pulling the outside in.

In the summer, those doors are wide open onto the garden... In the winter, the log burner’s on and it’s just as good - proper all-year-round living.

There’s plenty of flexibility across the four bedrooms too. Whether it’s growing kids, guests staying over, or you wanting a dressing room or extra snug space, the layout just works.

Two of the rooms even connect, which gives you options depending on how you want to live in it.

The main bedroom is a bit of a retreat in itself - generous space, its own en-suite and a walk-in wardrobe. Outside is where this one really separates itself.

The garden isn’t just somewhere to look at - it’s been set up to be used. Decking for sitting out, space to unwind, and then the standout... Your own fully insulated garden bar.

Bi-fold doors open it straight onto the garden, it’s heated, powered, and ready to go - whether that’s summer drinks, watching the match, or just escaping for an hour.

Within the same building, there’s also a dedicated home office space - ideal if you work from home but still want that bit of separation (and let’s be honest...

Being a few steps from the bar isn’t the worst perk in the world). All in all, it’s one of those homes that just fits around how people actually live day-to-day - and does it properly well.
