About
This spacious and significantly extended three-bedroom detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous plot (approximately 1/5 acre) within the sought-after village of Thurnby.
The plot would certainly offer scope for further extension, subject to local planning, but the accommodation already has a wonderful feeling of light and space and has been recently improved throughout.
These comprehensive improvements include the fitting of a new combination boiler (certified), the refitting of the kitchen and a partial re-wire and new consumer unit (certified).
Additionally, the bungalow has had new carpets and floorings and has been redecorated.
Conveniently located for amenities and schools, the home is within walking distance of the local Co-op and is only a short drive away from a range of shops and services in the surrounding suburbs.
The home has an impressive kerb appeal with a double bay frontage and a central front door that opens to a welcoming entrance hall with doors off to all rooms.
The bungalow's lounge and kitchen diner are situated toward the rear of the property and overlook the garden.
The lounge is a particularly generous dual aspect room with a window to the front and French doors that open to a patio area and the garden.
The room benefits from plenty of natural light and has new flooring. The kitchen diner has wonderful proportions and has been refitted.
The kitchen includes an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with timber work surfaces and a composite sink and drainer.
There is a gas hob with extractor over and a built-in mid-level double oven. The dishwasher, washing machine and microwave are also fully integrated within the kitchen units.
The dining area has ample space for a large table and chairs. A back door provides access to the garden. The bedrooms are situated toward the front of the bungalow.
The two largest bedrooms have bay windows with ample room for freestanding bedroom furniture and either room could be used as the principal bedroom with the other making a delightful guest room.
The third bedroom is a versatile single which could be used as an office or workspace if not required as a bedroom on a day-to-day basis. Finally, there is a superb wet room.
This has been finished with fully tiled walls, LED downlights and a contemporary white suite comprising a shower area, low flush WC and wall mounted wash hand basin.
To the front of the home a block paved driveway provides off-road parking for three vehicles as well as direct car access to the garage situated at the side of the bungalow.
At the rear is a private and mature garden which fans out from the property.
There is a large paved patio seating area and a generous lawn that is surrounded by planted borders containing a variety of trees and flora.
The garden offers scope for further extension or the erection of an outbuilding without compromising the outside space.
This excellent, well-presented bungalow can easily be considered as a family home as well as appealing to a more typical bungalow buying demographic.
