** AGE RESTRICTED BUNGALOW ** PREDOMINANTLY OVER 55S DEVELOPMENT ** 2 BEDROOMS ** LIGHT & AIRY MAIN RECEPTION ** DELIGHTFUL COMMUNAL GARDENS ** SHORT WALK TO THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE ** CLOSE TO LOCAL AMENITIES ** IDEAL DOWNSIZE ** OFF ROAD PARKING ** NO UPWARD CHAIN **

A rare opportunity to purchase a part attached bungalow in the grounds of the converted former rectory within this over 55s age restricted development.

The property is located on a pleasant manageable corner plot with a delightful aspect across to the village church having use of the impeccably maintained, established grounds and is located only a short walking distance from the heart of the village with it's wealth of amenities. This makes it ideal for those downsizing from larger dwellings, looking for a single storey home in a select location in this highly regarded and much sought after Vale of Belvoir village.

The accommodation approaches 600sq.ft. and comprises initial entrance hall leading through into a pleasant main reception with dual aspect, kitchen, two double bedrooms and shower room.

The property benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and recently upgraded composite external doors although, overall, is probably likely to require a general program of modernisation which, in turn, creates a blank canvas for those wishing to place their own mark on a home.

As well as the communal grounds, which are covered as part of the service charge, the property has a small courtyard garden area with established borders and the development offers a walled and gated car park.

The property is offered to the market with no upward chain and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
