Description
SITUATION & LOCATION The sale of Meadow view offers a unique opportunity to purchase an individual detached bungalow residence in gardens and grounds extending to about 2 acres (subject to survey) with the additional benefit of two detached single storey annexe dwellings, originally built and designed as holiday lets but now let by the owners under assured shorthold tenancies and generating a regular monthly income. These properties are strategically situated beyond the formal gardens with access off an independent driveway, thus maintaining privacy to the main residence. Beyond the annexe bungalows there is an area of meadow land which extends to approximately 1.50 acres (subject to survey), ideal as amenity land or a paddock for a pony or horse.
The bungalow is well presented throughout having been extended and refurbished over the years and now boasts generous, well laid out and comfortable accommodation including a large living/dining room, a well-appointed kitchen and useful utility room as well as a pleasant garden room at the rear with views over the garden. There are three double bedrooms plus a useful office/hobbies room and a full bathroom suite with separate shower cubicle.
Outside the property benefits from a garage with integral car port and to the rear is a purpose-built snooker room with full size snooker table. There is also a timber summer house.
Meadow view offers purchasers the opportunity to live in a comfortable home whilst generating an income. Alternatively, those purchasers seeking a multi-generational lifestyle could provide a comfortable annexe for a family member or as a useful guest accommodation for fiends and visitors. Viewings are highly recommended.
