Accomodation;

 
A wonderfully presented and recently renovated three-bedroom detached bungalow situated within the highly desirable road of Shanklin Gardens in South Knighton. This stylish home combines thoughtfully planned living space with high-quality finishes, making it a rare opportunity in such a sought-after location.

On entering the property you are greeted by Karndean parquet flooring which flows through the hallway, creating a warm and inviting first impression. Oak and glass internal doors lead into the principal rooms, allowing natural light to travel throughout the home and enhancing the sense of space.

The lounge is generously proportioned yet retains a cosy and welcoming feel, centred around a contemporary DRU Global gas fireplace which provides a striking focal point. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, offering both views and access to the landscaped outdoor space.

The recently renovated living kitchen has been designed with both functionality and style in mind. A comprehensive range of wall and base units is complemented by quartz work surfaces that provide an abundance of preparation space. Integrated Neff appliances include a full-size fridge, two freezers, and a dishwasher, offering modern convenience and efficiency. A quartz breakfast bar provides informal dining and subtly divides the kitchen from the dining area. The open-plan layout continues into a seating area with French doors to the garden, creating a bright and versatile space for both day-to-day living and entertaining. From here, an additional office enjoys an outlook to the front of the property, ideal for those working from home.

The bathroom is finished to a high standard with a crisp white three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, enclosed flush WC, and a basin set within a vanity unit. An illuminated mirror, together with tiled walls and flooring, completes the stylish presentation. The three bedrooms are well proportioned, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room fitted with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a well-manicured garden is accompanied by a driveway providing off-road parking, which is further enhanced by an additional separate parking space. To the rear, the landscaped garden has been carefully designed to balance ease of maintenance with visual appeal. A patio area adjoins the property, leading to a further paved terrace perfectly suited to outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, a neatly kept lawn is bordered by thoughtfully planted beds and borders, creating a private and attractive setting.

This detached bungalow offers a rare combination of stylish interiors, practical living space, and beautifully maintained gardens in one of South Knighton’s most desirable addresses. The attention to detail throughout, coupled with the high-quality renovation, makes this property an exceptional home ready to move into and enjoy.
