About
Offers Over £480,000 Offered to the open market with no onward chain and immediate possession, this generously proportioned four double bedroom, two bathroom detached bungalow occupies a tucked-away position in the heart of the historic town of Eckington.
Set within gardens to all sides, the property enjoys both privacy and convenience, with excellent access to local amenities, reputable schools, nearby shopping centres, and the M1 motorway network.
The accommodation is thoughtfully laid out and benefits from gas central heating via a brand new fitted combi boiler with 10 year warranty, uPVC double glazing, a security alarm system, and solar panels, offering both comfort and efficiency.
A spacious entrance hall provides access to all rooms and includes useful storage along with access to the insulated loft.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed, high-gloss integrated dining kitchen, complete with a range of fitted units, integrated appliances, and a striking lantern roof that floods the space with natural light.
French doors open directly onto the rear patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
An adjoining reception room offers a generous and inviting space for relaxation, enhanced by a contemporary feature fireplace and dual-aspect windows.
The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double room with a dedicated dressing area fitted with extensive wardrobes and storage, as well as access to a private en suite shower room.
Three further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, provide flexible accommodation for family living, guests, or home working.
A stylish family bathroom completes the interior, featuring a four-piece suite including a freestanding bath and separate shower.
Externally, the property is approached via a long shared driveway, owned by the current vendors, leading to ample block-paved parking suitable for multiple vehicles or a caravan.
An attached double garage adds further practicality.
The surrounding gardens are a particular highlight, with a stone-flagged courtyard, limestone patio, lawned areas, and established borders, all enclosed for privacy.
Tree-lined boundaries and a rear access path enhance the sense of seclusion, while the overall outdoor space provides an ideal setting for entertaining and family enjoyment.
Built in 1986 and offering over 2,100 sq ft of versatile living space, this impressive bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a highly sought-after location.
