Description
Set within The Generals Wood, Harraton, one of the area’s traditionally most desirable and quiet residential locations, this detached split-level bungalow represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and individually designed home on a generous corner plot of approximately 0.25 acres. The property has been extended and thoughtfully arranged to provide highly flexible accommodation, ideal for families or buyers seeking space and versatility.
The accommodation includes four double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefiting from an en suite and dressing area. Living space is a particular strength, with multiple reception areas including a lounge, dining room, snug, sun room and study space, all enhanced by high ceilings, a split-level layout and excellent natural light which together create a strong sense of space throughout.
The attractive kitchen includes a breakfast area and is complemented by a separate utility room with internal access to the integral double garage. There are two modern bathrooms, including a high-quality four-piece family bathroom and a contemporary en suite. The interior is finished in a neutral, modern style and is ready to move into, while features such as log-burning stove and feature fireplaces add warmth and character.
Externally, the property enjoys an extensive driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, along with the double garage. The rear courtyard garden is private and un-overlooked, with further well-established gardens to other aspects, offering a variety of outdoor spaces throughout the plot.
