About
A charming exceptionally well presented detached bungalow situated in one of the most sought-after roads in the popular village of Kingsdown.
Believed to have been built in the 1930s ‘Sundown’ was purchased by the current owners through ourselves in 2017, since then they have carried out a number of sympathetic improvements to create a beautiful home.
The flexible accommodation comprises: hall, lounge (potential 3rd bedroom) with a sunny double aspect and a woodburning stove.
Kitchen/breakfast room opening into a living/dining room overlooking the rear garden, 2 double bedrooms, bathroom and a separate cloakroom.
From the kitchen a pull down stair ladder leads to an attic room with a Velux window giving a lovely view over the village to the sea beyond.
Given the property’s location, purchasers might consider the possibility of extending and/or re-modelling the attic/roof space to create further accommodation to take full advantage of the views.
Outside to the front is a driveway/parking area for 3 cars, to the side is a single garage, garden room, tool shed and wood store.
