An excellent opportunity to purchase a tastefully presented detached bungalow which has seen a thoughtful programme of modernisation and reconfiguration over recent years to create a good level of accommodation updated with contemporary fixtures and fittings. The property occupies a prominent corner plot, generous by modern standards, and benefitting from an excellent level of off road parking with two driveways and gardens running to all sides, providing a pleasant outdoor space which offers a good degree of privacy.
The property offers up to three bedrooms, a pleasant well proportioned sitting room having an attractive fireplace with inset solid fuel stove and being flooded with light, benefitting from a large picture window to the front. The hub of the home is undoubtedly going to be the large open plan living/dining kitchen which has been extended to the side elevation with an attractive, mainly glass, addition which floods this area with light and links out into the garden, providing a generous space perfect for everyday living and entertaining. In addition there is a well appointed bath/shower room and separate cloak room and, leading off an inner hallway, is a further "occasional" reception space which we understand was converted from the garage and has been utilised as an additional room although we understand it doesn't have full building certification.
In addition the property benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
