Description
A stunning, individual, true bungalow with a contemporary open plan kitchen and rear reception room which incorporates a vaulted ceiling. High quality presentation both inside and out. Elevated position provides distant views plus open fields to rear. Abundant parking including a large double garage.
A superb, individually designed, detached true bungalow likely to have been first constructed during the 1930s and has been extended and reconfigured to suit modern living styles. Big ticket items such as the kitchen, windows and doors plus soffits and facias have been renewed during the last six years, whilst the decor has benefited from constant care and updating. Great thought has been put into the use of some decorative finishes to draw on the era of the build.
The current configuration includes two individual reception rooms plus an open plan kitchen. The three bedrooms are an excellent double size with the master offering a wonderfully private aspect over the rear garden and is served by an ensuite shower room.
Attractive cast iron style fireplaces have been introduced into two of the bedrooms and there is a log burner fitted within the open plan kitchen.
Externally, there are attractive gardens and a long driveway providing abundant parking with the added benefits of a large, detached garage and a timber-built workshop.
True bungalows of such an individual character are seldom placed in the open market and we would expect good rates of interest.
