Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this Link Detached home in the sought-after village of Longdon between Lichfield and Rugeley will prove extremely popular to those seeking a long term move to a large bungalow. The property holds an elevated position set away from the beginning of Brook End bend a long driveway and vast front lawn offering potential for even more parking if needed.

The driveway precedes a garage that has an up and over door to enter and has been part converted at the rear to allow space for a shower room – more on this below. To the left of the bungalow is a gated passage that features a flagstone patio laid around the conservatory, past a raised pond and around to the rear of the property where there is a huge area for an outdoor furniture set. A brick retaining wall with steps to the far right separates the patio from the large raised lawn. Trees, mature shrubs and tall wooden fencing provide the boundaries to keep the garden lovely and private.

Bungalow Interior

Guests enter the home into a long corridor hallway that has two doors to the left to enter the dining room and kitchen, two doors to the right to enter the garage and shower room, and a door at the far end to exit straight out to the patio. As mentioned above, the rear part of the garage has been borrowed to extend what was a WC to a shower room which is very welcome for those who enjoy gardening, enjoy outdoor activities such as cycling, or own a dog as it makes a great place to wash without needing to travel through the main interior.

The dining room is the central hub of the property with doors leading off to the kitchen, lounge, third bedroom and inner hallway. There is also a handy storage cupboard. The dining room is easily large enough to hold a family dining table and is lovely and bright owing to a tall window to the side.

The kitchen features a delightful modern suite with soft-close units fitted to all four walls and includes a chest-height double oven, four ring electric hob with overhead extractor fan. The one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer is positioned ahead of the window looking out to the rear patio. Clear spaces are available for a dishwasher or washing machine and a fridge freezer, and there is a storage cupboard located to the front left.

The lounge is a very impressive size measuring at over 17 feet long. With dining taken care of in a separate room, this is a really good space for arranging a sofa suite and entertainment unit around the chimney and gas fireplace, which is currently out of service. The property has a gas central heating system with efficient radiators.

The bedrooms begin with bedrooms one and two which are double bedrooms positioned side by side at the front of the home. Bedroom one is the larger of the two and includes a built in wardrobe. The other bedroom to have a built-in wardrobe is bedroom three which also has a set of French doors that open to the conservatory at the side of the bungalow. The conservatory is a great space with a pitched poly-carbonate roof and another set of French doors providing an exit to the front of the side passage.

The final room in this home is the family bathroom. This is a wonderful modern suite that comprises of an L-shaped bathtub with screen and electric storm shower fitted above, toilet, chrome heated towel radiator and a wash basin atop a storage cabinet.
