About
Set within a quiet cul de sac in the heart of St Leonards, this detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to create a home perfectly tailored to your own tastes.
Surrounded by established gardens and a calm residential atmosphere, it is a place where life naturally slows and space is enjoyed both inside and out.
A welcoming entrance porch opens into a generous open plan lounge and dining room, a light filled space that feels instantly inviting.
The fireplace forms a natural focal point, while French doors from the dining area draw the garden into everyday living, making it easy to imagine relaxed mornings and long summer afternoons spent outdoors.
From here, a connecting door leads into the kitchen, fitted with a range of base level cupboards and enjoying views across the rear garden, with additional access out to the side and rear of the property.
An inner hall leads to all three bedrooms and the bathroom, creating a practical and well balanced layout.
The principal bedroom sits to the front with built in mirrored wardrobes, while the second bedroom overlooks the garden and also benefits from fitted storage.
The third bedroom, a small double, offers flexibility as a guest room, home office or hobby space.
The bathroom is fully tiled and includes a shaped bath with electric shower, with natural light provided by an opaque rear window.
Additional storage and access to the loft space can be found from the hall, along with a cupboard housing the recently installed Worcester boiler.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a driveway leading to a single garage fitted with an electric door and rear pedestrian access.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, while the rear garden offers a private and established setting with areas of lawn, hardstanding, a timber summerhouse, greenhouse and a distinctive stone well feature.
Offered with no onward chain, this bungalow presents a wonderful chance to modernise and add value in a highly regarded St Leonards location.
