Description - Occupying a delightful position on the edge of the village, directly opposite the historic parish church, this individual mid-20th century bungalow has been thoughtfully extended and remodelled to create a spacious and highly appealing family home.
Set well back from the road, the property is approached via a rising driveway leading to a generous parking forecourt.
This area incorporates an excellent garage/workshop with power, W.C., and additional storage, along with a wood store and water storage.
The attractive brick and timber clad outbuilding also benefits from solar panels, enhancing the home’s energy efficiency. Inside, the bungalow is arranged around a long central hallway.
The double-aspect sitting room is a welcoming space, enjoying views over the gardens and featuring a brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove.
This flows through to the dining room, complete with timber flooring and an electric Aga, with a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.
The kitchen is fitted in a practical galley style with ample storage and work surfaces, leading to a useful rear porch with a Belfast sink and stable door opening to the garden.
The bedrooms are positioned along one side of the property.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering a triple aspect, garden views, and direct access via casement doors to a decked seating area.
It also benefits from a spacious en-suite shower room. A second bedroom overlooks the garden and features exposed floorboards, while the third enjoys a dual aspect to the side and rear.
A family bathroom serves these rooms, and a separate study connects directly to a double-glazed conservatory opening onto the garden.
A staircase from the hallway leads to a first-floor landing and a generously sized additional bedroom, currently used as a studio, which enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside.
The gardens are a standout feature of the property—beautifully landscaped with sweeping lawns, well-stocked borders, and a variety of flowering plants and shrubs.
A decked seating area sits beside a charming rock garden planted with alpines and grasses.
To the rear, there are raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, and a timber store, along with a covered outdoor area ideal for entertaining or working.
A large patio, edged with timber sleepers and a pergola draped in wisteria, provides the perfect space for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings.
A wonderful blend of character, space, and versatility in a sought-after village setting.
