About
A comfortably proportioned two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offering scope for selective modernisation, with easily maintained front and rear gardens, ample driveway parking, and a detached single garage; enviably situated in a particularly popular location within easy reach of Ellesmere town centre.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer 29 Diksmuide Drive, Ellesmere, for sale by private treaty, with the benefit of no onward chain.
29 Diksmuide Drive is a well-proportioned two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offering comfortable and practical single-storey accommodation.
The property has clearly been well maintained over the years, although now provides an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to undertake a programme of selective modernisation and create a home to their own tastes.
Outside, the bungalow benefits from established yet notably easy-care gardens to both the front and rear, together with a private driveway providing off-road parking and access to a detached garage.
The rear garden is particularly manageable, being predominantly gravelled with paved seating areas and established planted borders.
Situation - The property occupies a pleasant residential position within the popular market town of Ellesmere, conveniently placed for access to the town centre and its range of everyday amenities.
Ellesmere offers a good selection of independent shops, cafés and public houses, together with a supermarket, medical facilities and recreational amenities, whilst the Mere and surrounding parkland provide attractive opportunities for walking and leisure.
The larger centres of Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Whitchurch and Wrexham are all accessible by road, whilst rail services are available from Gobowen.
Schooling - Within a comfortable proximity are a number of well-regarded state and private schools including Ellesmere Primary School, Ellesmere College, Lakelands Academy, The Maelor School, The Madras School, Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School, The Priory, Prestfelde Prep., Packwood Haugh, Adcote School for Girls, and Moreton Hall.
Directions - From our Ellesmere office, proceed north along Cross Street and, when reaching a roundabout, take the third exit onto Talbot Street, turning left shortly after onto Swan Hill.
Continue along Swan Hill for around 0.1 miles where a left hand turn leads onto Diksmuide Drive.
Follow Diksmuide Drive and number 29 will be positioned on the left, identified by a Halls "For Sale" board.
W3w - ///span.section.unrated The Property - The bungalow provides neatly arranged accommodation extending to approximately 53.3 sq m (574 sq ft).
An entrance hall leads first to the right into a cloakroom, and then into a particularly generous reception room, providing ample space for both sitting and dining areas and featuring an electrically operated fireplace as its focal point.
The adjoining kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of timber-fronted wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and tiled surrounds.
Whilst serviceable as it stands, the kitchen presents an obvious opportunity for updating as part of any future improvements.
An inner hall gives access to two bedrooms, both of useful proportions, together with a shower room fitted with a shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.
The principal bedroom also benefits from a substantial range of fitted bedroom furniture.
Overall, the accommodation provides a sound and comfortable basis from which a purchaser could selectively modernise over time.
Outside - The bungalow is approached over a paved driveway providing useful off-road parking and continuing through gates to the detached garage.
The front garden has been attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance, incorporating gravelled areas, established shrubs and low-growing planting.
The rear garden follows the same low-maintenance theme and offers a pleasant private space with paved patio areas, extensive gravelled sections and a variety of mature shrubs and ornamental planting contained within raised and established borders.
The arrangement provides ample room for outdoor seating whilst requiring comparatively modest ongoing upkeep.
