Cat Street, Chiselborough, Stoke-Sub-Hamdon, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
Not to be judged by its cover, this apparently diminutive bungalow is ‘bigger on the inside’, in fact much bigger than it would appear from the front. A huge extension has almost doubled the footprint and created a fantastic open plan heart to the property, while retaining a large separate lounge, making this home perfectly suited to modern family life.

THE PROPERTY
Entering the property there is a long hallway which provides access to all of the living accommodation. There are two large floor-to-ceiling double cupboards providing useful storage. Bedroom 2 is at the front of the property and Bedroom 1 is at the rear, overlooking the garden. Both of these double rooms benefit from wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and large windows.

Between the bedrooms is the very smartly finished and generously proportioned shower room, and the utility room with WC, wash basin, space and plumbing for a washing machine, worktop space and built-in storage cupboard. On the left side of the hall is the spacious, double-aspect sitting room which has great proportions, with a lovely large window overlooking the front and a working ?replace.

At the heart of the home is a superb open plan kitchen/living/dining space. Full length windows, French doors and a large roof lantern make the most of the southerly aspect and flood this space with light. The well designed kitchen is fitted with a range of cream traditional-style units topped with black granite worktop, an eye-level oven, induction hob with extractor, integrated dishwasher and fridge-freezer, and a tall larder cupboard. There is also a large breakfast bar with contrasting timber worktop providing a lovely spot for informal meals. Off this central space is the study/bedroom 3 which in turn provides access through to the garage.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
At the front of the property a tarmac drive provides parking for several cars and leads to the garage. The drive sweeps across the front of the bungalow and there is a wrought iron pedestrian gate at the side leading to the rear garden. The low maintenance front garden is laid to gravel with a tree in the centre and dotted with shrubs, including roses. There is a raised border along the front of the property with a couple of steps up to the main entrance. At the rear there is a large patio which sits below the garden with a retaining wall that is partly terraced to create a rockery. Above this is a level area of lawn which continues through a rustic arch to a kitchen garden area with a lovely view over the adjoining pastureland, along with a greenhouse and shed.
