Quote Reference NF0664 To Arrange Your Viewing

Firbank, as it is fondly known, is a handsome looking detached Bungalow, dating back to 1963. Situated in a private road of just seven other Bungalows, one of the best locations in the village. Here you can indulge in privacy and peaceful surrounds. Formerly part of All Saints Church Rectory grounds,  you will see the back drop onto the Church and see the yew trees spotted around the gardens. 

This property has one of the largest garden plots and they are simply beautiful to revel in, ideal for those with green fingers, pets and children. The front garden is full of colourful blooms and wisteria adorns the bungalow, the wooden garden at the front goes on and on, a haven for nature, then the rear and side gardens used for vegetables and seating in the sunshine. This will be one of the big buying points I feel for viewers. 

This home has been happily owned by the same family for over forty years and is now being offered for sale without an onward chain. 

You enter the property via large hallway of over three metres which allows space to move around, and you may spot the beautiful hard wood flooring, which I love to see and is in very good order. To the right is a large Living/Dining room, here the wooden floor spans this large space and is more noticeable by the huge windows reminiscent of the 1960's style. A stone fire place is centrally located and doors lead onto the rear gardens, this L-shaped room is sectioned up with furniture to use how you wish. To the side is a Conservatory which can be enjoyed all year long and has access doors to both the front and rear gardens. 

Back along the hall way is the extended Kitchen/dining room, this has a good sized kitchen, large fitted pantry cupboards and space for a dining table and chairs. Next to here is the Bathroom, of good size with a corner Spa bath. Then you will find the three bedrooms, two doubles and a single sized. The main bedroom is a very good size, with a range of fitted wardrobes and looks out over the front gardens. Neighbours have added an en-suite into this room as the space allows for it. The loft area is partially boarded and spans the property, this could be an area to look into the possibilities of developing as well maybe. 

As mentioned heading outside the gardens are simply wonderful, so much time and love over years have gone into them. The front garden especially when in bloom is an area you will spend hours enjoying. The rear gardens are set up to grow vegetables and the long wooded area is lovely to look at and be in also. The gardens likely equate to 0.5 acres or close. 

Starting at the front of the home is the driveway that stretches along the side and opens out at the rear, this allows for a large number of vehicles. To the side is a detached garage with power and light. 

In summary this is a well loved home is a special setting that can be updated to taste making a lovely home in this wonderful setting.
