Description
This beautifully converted one-bedroom bungalow presents an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to downsize without compromise, offering modern comfort, excellent energy efficiency and exceptionally low maintenance, all within a peaceful setting. Thoughtfully designed and finished to a high standard, the property is perfectly suited to those seeking a simpler, more manageable home that still feels stylish, light and welcoming. EPC rating: B.
At the heart of the home is a bright and well-proportioned open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed for relaxed, everyday living rather than unused space. The layout flows effortlessly, creating a sense of openness while remaining cosy and easy to manage. Large sliding bi-fold doors fill the room with natural light and provide direct access to a neat paved seating area-ideal for enjoying a morning coffee, tending to a few pots, or relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening.
The kitchen is particularly well appointed, fitted with a comprehensive range of integrated Siemens appliances, including an induction hob, oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer. Full-height cabinetry maximises storage while maintaining clean, uncluttered lines, and subtle under-cabinet lighting adds both practicality and ambience. A modern air-source heat pump provides efficient, reliable heating and hot water, helping to keep running costs low and comfort levels high throughout the year.
The bedroom offers a calm and restful retreat, with dual-aspect windows allowing in plenty of daylight and space for a generous bed and freestanding furniture. Storage has been carefully considered, with two useful cupboards positioned in the hallway to keep the living space tidy and organised. The contemporary shower room is finished with quality fittings and a clean, modern aesthetic, continuing the sense of understated luxury found throughout the home.
Externally, the property has been designed very much with ease of maintenance in mind. A compact rear patio provides just enough outdoor space to enjoy without the upkeep of a traditional garden, while the smart block-paved driveway offers ample parking and a tidy frontage. There is also a wooden storage shed, ideal for bikes, tools or gardening items. For those who enjoy greenery without the work, the driveway and patio lend themselves perfectly to container planting.
This charming bungalow strikes an excellent balance between comfort, efficiency and simplicity, making it an outstanding choice for buyers looking to downsize, retire, or secure a lock-up-and-leave home. Stylish, economical to run and ready to move into, it offers modern living in a practical, easy-to-enjoy format.
We have been advised there is an estate charge, which we have been advised is £300 per year approximately.
