With plenty of living space plus an extensive south-facing garden, the property is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
This chalet bungalow feels like a much-loved family home from the moment you step inside the entrance hall, which is decorated in warm neutrals with practical tiled flooring.
On your left is a generous sitting/dining room which leads through to a further snug.
Decorated in a neutral colour palette with coordinating carpet, the sitting room is located at the front of the property and provides the perfect spot to relax after a busy day.
Featuring a brick fireplace with wood burner, there’s plenty of space for a comfy sofa or two, and it’s easy to imagine cosy winter evenings in front of the fire.
The dining room is open plan to the sitting room and has ample space for a dining table and chairs, as well as other furniture.
It’s ideal whether you’re enjoying a relaxed family meal or entertaining friends. An arched opening on to the snug introduces plenty of natural light.
The snug is a versatile room with a tiled floor and large patio doors opening on to the garden, facilitating indoor-outdoor living during the summer months.
With lovely garden views, it’s a fantastic additional reception area, but would also make a practical playroom with garden access.
A doorway from the snug leads through to the kitchen which features modern cream cabinetry, smart granite work surfaces, terracotta floor tiles and a butlers sink.
There is an integrated Bosch oven with gas hob and stainless-steel wall-mounted hood, plus space for a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge-freezer.
It’s a practical space which has everything you need, in addition to direct access to the garden which is handy for outdoor entertaining.
Located at the front of the bungalow is a spacious double bedroom. Currently used as a office, the room feels airy and bright thanks to its large bay window.
Featuring neutral colour walls and a jade green carpet, there’s plenty of space to add furniture. Completing the downstairs is a handy cloakroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a home office.
Bedroom one features wooden flooring and fitted furniture framing the bed, with a striking wall mural. The second bedroom also features fitted wardrobes and has a neutral carpet.
The family bathroom features a modern white suite, including a corner shower cubicle, large bathtub and countertop basin, and a mixture of white and stone effect tiling.
Outside, the sizeable back, measuring at 113’ in length, garden is a delight to explore.
Beginning with a patio area next to the house (well-suited to entertaining), it progresses into a diverse selection of lawned and paved areas, with secluded spots and a host of mature trees and shrubs – perfect for keen gardeners.
It also benefits from a number of outbuildings, including a summerhouse and shed. To the front of the property is smart block-paved driveway with parking for multiple vehicles.
