About
A spacious and versatile two-bedroom detached bungalow, in need of modernisation throughout, offering excellent accommodation, generous outside space, extensive parking and a substantial attached garage with additional workshop area.
Occupying a sizeable plot, this well-proportioned property provides a rare combination of single-level living, useful additional loft spaces and extensive private gardens.
The property also benefits from a large driveway, wrap-around access and a separate parcel of land included within the sale.
Upon entering the property, the main living room provides a comfortable and welcoming reception space, while the large kitchen/diner offers plenty of room for both everyday family living and entertaining.
A separate utility room provides useful additional and practical space, as well as rear access to the garden.
The bungalow offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted storage, providing excellent bedroom accommodation.
The main bathroom is well appointed and includes a separate shower, alongside the usual bathroom facilities.
A particularly appealing feature of the property is the provision of two separate loft conversion spaces, one accessed via floating and stairs, and the other by a ladder, each benefiting from Velux skylights.
These areas provide valuable additional accommodation and could offer a range of uses, subject to any necessary consents and regulations, such as home offices, hobbies, storage or occasional additional living space.
The property benefits from a large attached garage, providing substantial storage and parking potential.
To the rear of the garage is a separate workshop area, ideal for those requiring dedicated space for hobbies, projects or additional storage.
The garage has vehicular access from the front, while also benefiting from pedestrian access to the rear, adding further flexibility and convenience.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with a large front garden and sizeable driveway, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The driveway also provides wrap-around access to the bungalow, making access around the property particularly convenient.
To the rear and side is a large, private lawned garden, offering an excellent outdoor space for relaxation, entertaining, gardening or family use.
A further benefit is the strip of land situated to the left-hand side of the property when viewed from the front, which is included within the sale.
This land was purchased by a previous owner of the property and forms part of the sale.
The additional land can be accessed directly from the bungalow's grounds via a pedestrian gate, providing useful additional space while retaining a good degree of privacy from the surrounding area.
