Description

Tucked away at the end of a private driveway shared with just one other bungalow, Steeple Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained detached bungalow in a quiet, sought-after location of Alphington. Built around 1991 and positioned on a fully resurfaced tarmac driveway (completed just a year ago), this home combines privacy, generous living space and excellent access to local amenities and transport links.

This well-presented home features three bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a third small double, currently with stylish new vinyl flooring that continues through the hallway (both less than a year old). A boiler installed five years ago (to be serviced prior to sale) is located here.

The living room boasts a charming bay window, a working gas fireplace, and a wooden/glass door creating an elegant focal point. The hallway also includes a large built-in storage cupboard housing the smart meters for gas and electricity.

At the heart of the home is a modern kitchen/dining room featuring cashmere coloured units, neutral laminate flooring, a Zanussi electric oven, electric induction hob, and space for a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer, this space is perfect for family living and entertaining. There is another wooden/glass door for a consistent flow throughout the home.

To the rear, a stunning garden room extension through another wooden/glass door, completed four years ago, offers a calm retreat with a beach-inspired tiled roof and wooden-panelled ceiling, oak flooring, radiator, and access to the garden via french doors.

All three bedrooms are tastefully decorated, with the two main doubles enjoying grey carpets and pleasant garden aspects. Bedroom 1 includes a triple built-in sliding wardrobe with rails and shelves, while Bedroom 3 faces the front garden and benefits from the same high-quality vinyl as the hallway. The family bathroom includes a double shower cubicle with grey tiling and an electric Mira shower with chrome handrail, built-in storage with shelves, and a heated chrome towel radiator.

Externally, this property truly shines. The rear garden is a large, fully enclosed wrap-around space offering multiple zones: a newly grey indian sandstone patio slab area, a bark-filled and white stoned section with shrubs and flowers, a lawn, and a wooden shed. A standout feature is the large wooden cabin with full electric supply and lighting, French doors to the front and side, and a private decked area. The side decking has a corrugated, completely weatherproof roof, making it a sheltered outdoor space ideal for year-round use. Gates on either side provide full enclosure.

The front garden includes a sunny south-facing patio area, perfect for morning coffee, as well as a grass lawn and a vegetable patch. The detached double garage provides incredible flexibility-one side is currently used as a workshop, and the other for car storage. With electric, lighting, a loft ladder leading to additional loft storage, up-and-over doors to the front, and a side door for garden access, it's ideal for hobbyists or additional utility space.

Further benefits include gas central heating throughout, fitted blinds to remain, recently serviced gutters, and partially boarded loft space in the main house for extra storage. Parking is plentiful, with space for up to four cars on the private drive.

Alphington enjoys an enviable location, offering peace and privacy while remaining close to everyday amenities. Nearby you'll find a wide selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafés and takeaways. Families are well-served by reputable primary and secondary schools, and commuters benefit from excellent transport links including the M5, A30, regular bus services and nearby Newcourt and Digby & Sowton train stations. Parks and green spaces are also nearby, making this an ideal setting for families, downsizers, or anyone looking for a well-connected yet tranquil home.
