About
Property 31 Rattray Gardens is a home with a story.
This charming detached bungalow has been lovingly owned and enjoyed by the same family for over 50 years and now offers the opportunity for its next owners to make their own memories here.
Sitting proudly on a fantastic corner plot, the property has generous accommodation, a large wraparound garden and plenty of 1970s character that gives it a warmth and personality you simply cannot recreate.
The charming wood-panelled entrance vestibule is a real highlight, with large windows and glazed doors creating a bright and welcoming space that is perfect for greeting guests or simply sitting with a cup of tea and watching the world go by.
Inside, the bright and spacious living room is wonderfully comfortable, with large windows flooding the room with natural light and the original fireplace adding a lovely focal point and plenty of charm.
The kitchen is bright and practical, with wooden cabinetry and a cosy breakfast area tucked alongside it, making it a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee.
There are three good-sized bedrooms, all comfortably accommodating double beds and two benefiting from built-in storage.
A separate dining room provides fantastic flexibility, whether used for family meals and entertaining, a home office, hobbies or simply as an additional living space.
The bathroom features a shower and attractive dark wood vanity unit, while the entrance hallway also benefits from generous built-in storage.
Outside, the large, well-maintained wraparound garden is one of the home's real selling points.
The generous grounds provide plenty of space to enjoy the sunshine, while a private seating area tucked behind a stone wall creates a lovely sheltered spot when a little more privacy is wanted.
There is also further parking to the side and an attached single garage. After more than five decades as a much-loved family home, 31 Rattray Gardens is ready for its next chapter.
