Description

Ryan James Estate Agents is pleased to welcome you into Rookery Gardens, a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, beautifully appointed detached bungalow set within a highly regarded cul-de-sac. This superb single-level home offers the perfect fusion of peaceful, private surroundings and immediate connectivity via the A688 to the A1(M), making it an absolute commuter's dream.

Step inside to discover a home defined by generous proportions and excellent natural light. The bright lounge is a comfortable space for relaxation, featuring polished wood laminate flooring and a modern wall-mounted electric fire as a cosy focal point. This room benefits from open-plan access to the dining area and wide glazed French doors that lead directly to the rear patio. The adjacent, open-plan Kitchen and Dining Area forms the heart of the home, featuring stunning high-gloss black contemporary cabinetry and a large central island with rich, dark wood panelling and a white composite work surface. This social hub boasts high vaulted ceilings, multiple Velux windows, a striking exposed brick feature wall, and seamless flow across the room, transitioning from light tiled flooring to warm wood in the spacious dining area.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a highly useful utility area, featuring additional storage and a practical sink unit. From here, you have access to a convenient guest two-piece suite (WC). The utility area further connects to an additional utility room, which has been converted from the original garage space but still provides access to a small, essential storage area.

The sleeping accommodation offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The Principal Bedroom Suite is an elegant retreat, complete with a calming atmosphere, neutral carpeting, and a separate walk-through dressing area lined with sleek, high-gloss white fitted wardrobes, maximizing storage. This leads into the Contemporary En-suite Bathroom, which features sophisticated grey tiling, a walk-in shower enclosure, a sleek vanity unit, and a modern dark grey heated towel radiator. The Family Bathroom is equally well-appointed, boasting attractive marble-effect tiling, a versatile P-shaped shower-bath, and a deep purple vanity unit that adds a splash of vibrant colour.

The exterior is equally impressive. To the front, the property boasts excellent kerb appeal with its red-brick façade, a tidy lawn, and a substantial block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, leading to the Integral Garage.

To the rear, the generous, private garden is a true highlight. This split-level oasis features a large, elevated sandstone patio terrace, complete with a stone balustrade and open views toward the countryside—ideal for alfresco dining. Steps lead down to the secluded lower lawn, which is fully enclosed and framed by mature hedging and planting, creating a peaceful haven for relaxation and enjoyment.

A substantial, single-level home of this quality, in this location, demands immediate attention. From the executive dressing area to the sun-soaked, semi-rural garden, every detail here delivers. Your tranquil, connected lifestyle is waiting.
