Karen Close, Backwell

Brought to the market with the benefit of no onward chain complications is this versatile detached bungalow offering as many as four bedrooms if desired. The welcoming and spacious accommodation is perfect for both family buyers and those searching for a home for lateral living with plenty of space to entertain visiting family and friends.

The property occupies a delightful location within this well respected cul de sac, and its position, being set back from the road, affords it excellent privacy. To the front of the house is a good sized block paved driveway offering plenty of off street parking along with access to a double garage. 

Entering the bungalow to the side you continue into a generous reception hallway which has been utilised by the current owners as a snug/library for many years. Continuing through into the main house you arrive at a great sized dining room which is almost open plan to the sitting room with just a single step down separating the rooms. The sitting room is incredible, showered by natural light from its large south/west facing window; it is not only spacious but has a feature sloping roof to one side adding a little alpine-like character. To the end of the sitting room a door leads you through to the forth bedroom, an extension from the original footprint of the property. the room benefits from fitted wardrobes and could be utilised as a craft/hobby room or maybe even a study if desired. 

The kitchen lies to left of the property and is a traditional galley style with a range of wall mounted and floor base units to either side, there are twin eye level ovens, plumbing for white goods, recessed sink and space for a fridge freezer. There is a door leading to a handy utility room with further storage. To the rear of the kitchen is a super breakfast room with doors to the garden and an internal door leading back into the sitting room.

The three remaining bedrooms and family bathroom can be found off an internal hallway, all three rooms are of good size with the master bedroom and bedroom three benefitting from fitted cupboards. The family bathroom features a three piece white suite with an electric shower over the bath, and there is the added advantage of a further cloakroom off the hallway which contains another shower and the boiler. 

Outside, the delightful garden can be accessed from several doors leading out from the property, it has been beautifully maintained over the years and features neat areas of level lawn with rockery and raised borders featuring a plethora of small trees, shrubs and flowers. There is a patio for summer dinner parties and barbecues along with gated access to the bordering hillside road.

What we love.... Karen Drive is such a fantastic location and the position of number 18 is fantastic, set back from the road it has a delightful south-west facing garden and excellent privacy. The property itself is blessed with a versatile footprint, perfect for downsizers, families and those who work from home.
