The accommodation offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as an additional sitting room, highlighting the flexibility of the layout.
This arrangement could easily be adapted to suit individual needs, whether that be three separate bedrooms, a home office or an additional reception space.

The remaining accommodation offers further scope for improvement and modernisation, allowing the next owner to make the most of the space and create a home that works perfectly for them.
Externally, the property boasts an impressive driveway providing off-road parking, which continues around the side of the bungalow and leads to a particularly useful one-and-a-half-length garage.
This offers excellent space for storage, workshop use or those requiring additional room for vehicles and hobbies.
The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, already well established with mature planted borders, an attractive water feature and a dedicated area for growing vegetables.
Offering a lovely mix of established planting and space to enjoy the outdoors, it provides a peaceful setting for relaxing, gardening and outdoor entertaining throughout the seasons.
