About
Beautifully presented throughout and occupying a pleasant position within an established and highly regarded residential setting, just a short walk from the heart of Shildon town centre, this attractive detached bungalow offers the perfect balance of comfort, practicality and low-maintenance living.
Ideally suited to those looking to downsize without compromise, the property provides generous and well-planned accommodation alongside beautifully maintained gardens and extensive off-street parking.
Set behind attractive landscaped gardens with extensive off-street parking and a detached garage, the property immediately delivers a strong first impression.
The frontage has been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance while still retaining colour, character and kerb appeal, with mature planting and paved seating areas creating an inviting approach.
Internally, the accommodation is well-balanced and flows effortlessly throughout.
A central hallway connects the home, leading into a spacious principal living room positioned to the rear, enjoying direct access through to the sunroom which overlooks the beautifully arranged gardens beyond.
Filled with natural light, this additional reception space creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, reading or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings throughout the seasons.
A second reception room to the front elevation adds further flexibility and could easily serve as a snug, formal dining room or hobby space depending on individual requirements.
The fitted kitchen is well-proportioned and practical in design, offering ample storage and workspace while remaining conveniently positioned close to the main living accommodation.
The bungalow offers two well-sized bedrooms, both comfortably accommodating double furnishings, alongside a centrally positioned bathroom suite. Externally, the property truly comes into its own.
The gardens have clearly been a labour of love, with extensive decorative gravelled sections, paved entertaining areas, established borders and carefully maintained planting creating an exceptionally private and low-maintenance outdoor environment.
Whether enjoying quiet afternoons in the sun or hosting visiting family and friends, the outside space offers versatility rarely found with homes of this style.
The detached garage further enhances practicality, while the generous driveway provides excellent parking provision for multiple vehicles.
Homes of this nature, particularly those combining immaculate presentation, manageable single-level living and such impressive outdoor space, are rarely available.
An internal inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate both the setting and lifestyle this superb bungalow has to offer.
