About
Attractively set on elevated ground to the south of the village centre, Greenfields comprises a three-bedroom detached bungalow which was built in the late 1960’s.
Internally, the bungalow does require modernisation, however many of the previous fixtures and fittings have already been removed.
Therefore, this gives a seemingly straightforward opportunity for the forthcoming purchaser to adapt, update and modify. There is also scope to extend.
The existing accommodation provides a spacious, full width sitting room with a central multi-fuel burner.
The adjacent kitchen is fitted on three walls, with oil-fired boiler and additional access to the rear garden.
The three double bedrooms are served by a bathroom, with a recently fitted shower cubicle.
Greenfields occupies a particularly attractive position, where the front picture windows take advantage of the views onto the picturesque green opposite, as well as the far-reaching rural views to the eastern aspect towards Aldham and Whatfield.
The property also adjoins arable farmland on its entire western boundary.
Covering some 0.16 acres, the property forms a prominent corner plot, where the garden extends to all sides, together with off-road parking and a detached single garage.
Agents note Covered by an insurance claim, remedial works have been completed to parts of the front façade, due to clay shrinkage subsidence.
This cause was from an existing oak tree, which is located on the neighbouring green.
To inhibit any further structural movement, a ‘lime soil root barrier’ has been set close to the front northern boundary beech hedge, which will prevent any further root encroachment.
The structural report, which fully details the completed remedial works, is available by request.
