Rosewood Grainthorpe LN11 7JA

A surprisingly spacious detached dormer bungalow/house with 2 double bedrooms and shower room on the first floor, bedroom 3/snug and bathroom on the ground floor, good size lounge with glazed double doors to dining room, hallway and kitchen with cherry wood style units and cooker. Resin bonded drive for parking, garage at the rear and gardens on 3 sides. Oil CH system, DG windows and for sale with NO CHAIN 

The Property We estimate that this detached dormer chalet was built in the 1970s with brick-faced cavity walls under a pitched, tiled roof and flat roof rear dormer windows to the two first-floor double bedrooms. The windows are uPVC double-glazed units and the fascias have been replaced in complementary white uPVC for easy maintenance. Heating is by an oil central heating system with a combination boiler and there is a fireplace in the lounge. The driveway has been resin bonded and leads to a detached brick and tile garage at the rear.

The rooms are versatile with lounge and dining room having glazed double doors which slide open for entertaining, or closed, they keep the two rooms independent. The upper bedrooms have a shower room adjacent while the main bathroom is on the ground floor. A third reception room could alternatively be a ground floor third bedroom and the kitchen is at the rear. Generally, the property would benefit from some modernisation.

The garage has internal piers, a side timber part-glazed pedestrian door, a consumer unit, strip light and power points, together with a side window, wall shelving and a double wall cupboard. The roof of the garage extends on the garden side to form a canopy over the resin bonded path at the side.

At the front of the bungalow there is an attractive lawned garden with gravel border, ornamental shrubs and a picket style fence extending along the front and side boundaries and this extends around the side of the property.

A resin bonded pathway extends from the driveway across the front of the house and then along the side of the property, past the side garden laid to lawn and through a wrought iron gate into the rear garden.
