The Property

Nestled at the end of a long private driveway and set well back from the road, this large, extended bungalow, just short of 100 sq m, offers approachable privacy and convenience without feeling tucked away. The front is entirely paved with concrete, providing generous parking right outside the front door—ideal for day-to-day use and hassle-free upkeep.

Step inside to a surprisingly roomy layout. A wide hallway leads to separate sitting and dining rooms, three double bedrooms, a main bathroom and a separate WC. The interior has dated elements, offering a chance for a light aesthetic refresh or a full-scale modernisation depending on your plans. The property’s practical features include UPVC double glazing and solar panels, giving it an excellent EPC rating of B.

At the rear, you'll discover a charming, east-facing garden that enjoys plenty of sunshine. Rather than a natural lawn, the garden features neat artificial grass, bordered by vivid, colourful rose beds. The turf offers a consistently green, clean surface year-round and requires little maintenance—no mowing, no watering, and no muddy patches—making it a practical choice.

Overall, although the décor could benefit from updating, the property retains a welcoming and adaptable character. With its generous internal space, efficient energy credentials, and charming, sunlit garden, this bungalow makes an excellent canvas for someone envisioning a bespoke, comfortable home.
