The present owner moved into the property in 1995 and has subsequently added a conservatory in 1996, refitted the kitchen in May 2010, replaced the boiler in July 2013, installed a wood burner (Di Lusso multi-fuel stove) in the autumn of 2013. The garage has been modified as a studio/workshop in May 2015 yet could be easily reinstated. The main bathroom was replaced in 2018. The fascias and soffits were replaced in June 2022. There is a sky dish on the southern side of the bungalow & a conventional TV aerial on the eastern wall.
AGENTS NOTE: In our opinion, to fully appreciate the idyllic setting for those purchasers seeking a private location, a viewing is strongly recommended.
