London Road, Raunds

Magenta Estate Agents present an extended three-bedroomed bungalow which enjoys a popular location on the regarded London Road and is offered with no onward chain. The accommodation has been extended to the side and rear and now boasts a generous floor plan encompassing a spacious hall, lounge with wood stove, dining room, conservatory with French doors to the garden, kitchen, large cloakroom, two double bedrooms each with en suite facilities, further bedroom, generous loft and an externally accessed utility room. Outside are a terraced rear garden with superb garden office, workshop and store, and an expansive block-paved driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles. In our opinion, level living at its very best!

ACCOMMODATION

Enter the bungalow to the front aspect into the welcoming hallway which is painted in a tranquil shade of green complemented by a tiled floor. From this main hall, doors lead to bedrooms one and two.

The MASTER BEDROOM is a light-filled double bedroom enjoying fitted wall units ideal for storage, and for those hotter summer days an air conditioning unit to keep you cool while you sleep. A door leads to the EN SUITE which is fitted with a gloss white vanity basin unit, low-level WC and shower enclosure with thermostatic ‘rainfall’ shower system and decorative shower wall panels.

BEDROOM TWO is another well-presented double bedroom benefiting from an EN SUITE fitted with a wall-mounted basin, low-level WC and shower enclosure with ‘Aquatronic’ electric shower and complementary wall tiling.

Accessed from the main hall, the INNER HALL has doors leading to bedroom three, the kitchen, the lounge and the cloakroom. There is also access via a pull-down loft ladder to the fully boarded LOFT SPACE (7.15m x 4.23m) which houses the ‘Worcester’ gas boiler, is fully lined and heated, and has light connected and a roof window. If you are looking over time to create additional living space you might consider a dormer roof conversion which would transform the loft into a larger, airy room, or perhaps two extra bedrooms (subject to the usual permissions or consents).

BEDROOM THREE is a good-sized bedroom with grey painted floorboards and a front-aspect window overlooking the front garden.

The former shower room has been repurposed as a CLOAKROOM with the area where the shower enclosure used to be now ideal for free-standing storage units. There is a fitted suite comprising a pedestal basin and WC, in addition to oak laminate flooring and a sun tunnel light bringing natural daylight into the room.

Comfortable and welcoming, the LOUNGE enjoys a feature fireplace with characterful ‘Stovax’ wood-burning stove and rustic wooden fire surround. The front-aspect bay window bounces light around the room while the bamboo flooring offers a modern and natural aesthetic.

The KITCHEN is fitted with a classic range of cream cabinets with decorative door and drawer handles complemented by oak-effect laminate worktops. Further comprising a ceramic sink and drainer unit, tiled splashbacks, space for range cooker with ‘Belling’ chimney extractor hood over, and space and plumbing for a dishwasher. An external door leads to the rear garden where there is access to a separate UTILITY ROOM affording space for a washing machine and tall fridge/freezer together with fitted shelving and a tiled floor.

From the kitchen, a glazed door leads to the DINING ROOM which is a well-proportioned room where family and friends can gather to enjoy a home-cooked meal. Double doors open into the CONSERVATORY, bathed in natural light with a tiled floor and French doors accessing the rear garden.

OUTSIDE

The bungalow is accessed via wooden gates which open onto an excellent-sized block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. Two steps with handrails lead up to the main entrance to the property. A manicured lawn is complemented by well-tended borders stocked with a colourful and fragrant array of flowering plants including lavender and hydrangeas.

The terraced rear garden has been designed with minimal maintenance in mind being laid predominantly to paving and artificial grass which affords year-round colour. A wonderful gazebo ideal for gatherings currently houses a 4-person, 13-amp hot tub (available under separate negotiation). Steps lead up to the upper terrace where there is a good-sized paved patio and a greenhouse.

The rear garden also benefits from a superb GARDEN OFFICE with uPVC double glazing, power, lighting and carpeted floor – providing an often much-needed separation between one’s work and home life.

Further benefits include a wooden WORKSHOP with attached store, outside water tap, log store, exterior lighting, and gated pedestrian access to the front of the bungalow.
