The Property This detached bungalow stands in a quiet residential cul-de-sac, just a short walking distance from the facilities in the village centre. The property was built in 1991 and has brick-faced cavity walls beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles. The original windows have been replaced with uPVC double-glazed units and there is a metal-framed greenhouse/conservatory at the rear.

The bungalow stands on a good size plot with deep gardens to front and rear creating a feeling of space around the property and a long driveway from the return frontage gives access to a detached brick and tiled garage. The drive provides off-road parking space for a number of cars. Generally, the bungalow would benefit from some modernisation, which is reflected in the asking price, but has been a comfortable home for the present owner for many years. 

Accommodation The main entrance is at the front of the property and comprises a part-glazed (double-glazed) front door with matching side panel into an entrance porch. This has a coved ceiling and an internal glazed door and matching side panel to the entrance hall.

The entrance hall is L-shaped and has a night store heater, moulded dado rail and a trap access into the roof void. There is a recessed airing cupboard containing a foam-lagged hot water cylinder with immersion heater operating on a wall timer and there is a linen shelf over.

The hall is illuminated by two ceiling pendant lights.

The dining lounge is a well-proportioned room with a walk-in bay window on the front elevation, coving to the ceiling, two night store heaters, TV point and wiring to a satellite dish. This room has two ceiling light points, a serving hatch from the kitchen adjacent and rear white uPVC, double-glazed, sliding patio door and side panel to a lean-to metal-framed conservatory or greenhouse with a glass roof.

The kitchen has a range of light-coloured units with hardwood trim, comprising base cupboards and drawers, a tall larder cupboard with shelving, roll-edge woodgrain-effect work surfaces with ceramic-tiled splashbacks and a single drainer stainless steel sink unit. There is a Beko free-standing electric cooker with oven, grill and four plates, an under-counter refrigerator and space under the work surface with plumbing for an automatic washing machine. Above the sink, there is a window on the rear elevation with a ceramic-tiled sill and at the side, there is a rear, part-glazed (double-glazed) stable-type uPVC door to outside. To one side is a night store heater.

The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the bungalow and a double or twin room with an electric panel heater, a wide front window overlooking the deep front garden, coving to the ceiling and sliding double doors to a spacious wardrobe with clothes hanging rail, deep storage space at the side and a metal-cased electricity consumer unit with MCBs (newly installed in 2025).

The second bedroom is positioned at the rear and is also a double bedroom with an electric panel heater, coving to the ceiling and a wide rear window overlooking the garden at the rear of the bungalow.

Bedroom three is a smaller single bedroom at the front of the bungalow, which has been a dressing room for the present owner, with window on the front elevation, coved ceiling and a vinyl-tiled floor.

The original bathroom has been converted into a shower room and has a good size shower cubicle with glazed screen and curved, glazed doors, together with a Triton T80 electric shower unit, having a handset and wall rail; the white suite comprises a low-level, dual-flush WC and a pedestal wash hand basin with tiled splash-back and lever taps. There is a combined radiator and electric towel rail, an electric wall heater and window on the rear elevation with tiled sill.  

Outside The bungalow stands very well and is positioned behind a deep front garden, laid to lawn with ornamental lilac and cherry trees which have been recently pruned.

The front lawn continues around the side of the bungalow and on the return frontage, there is a vehicular entrance and concrete-paved driveway providing ample parking space for a number of cars off road and giving access to the detached brick and tiled garage.

The garage has an up and over door at the front, a side, single-glazed window, electric light and a double power point.

The rear garden is triangular in shape overall and includes the garage at the side, to the rear of which there is a timber garden shed. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with conifer hedges and there is a recently paved pathway from the drive to the rear door and across the rear of the bungalow, with an outside water tap and a sensor floodlight. At the side of the bungalow, a slab-paved pathway leads around to the front entrance.
