Spacious modern chalet bungalow occupying a delightful semi-rural location.

Description

A modern chalet bungalow having brick elevations under a tiled roof, with oil fired central heating and a combination of metal and UPVC windows. The property offers versatile accommodation across two floors, which includes a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. Most rooms in the house enjoy fine open views across the gardens to adjoining fields beyond.

The dining room has a serving hatch to the kitchen/ breakfast room, which is fitted with a range of units including a breakfast bar, double oven, ceramic hob, and dishwasher. Leading off is a boot room with doors to outside, a larder, and the utility room. This houses the oil fired boiler and has a range of units, a sink, and plumbing for a washing machine. Also on the ground floor is a spacious main bedroom with double aspect windows, built in wardobes and dressing table, and an en suite bathroom, with corner bath, separate shower, basin and WC.

An open tread staircase leads up to the first floor landing with airing cupboard, there are two further bedrooms, both having wardrobes, and one having a dressing area leading off, a study, and a shower room with shower, basin and WC.

The generous park like gardens extend to about 1.28 acres and are mainly lawned with a variety of specimen trees. They enjoy lovely open views over surrounding farmland, and offer peace and seclusion.
