A rare opportunity to acquire this meticulously renovated and substantially extended five-bedroom detached chalet bungalow, finished to an exceptional standard throughout and offering over 2,200 sq. ft. of beautifully appointed accommodation. Set behind a generous carriage driveway with detached garage, the property also enjoys a wonderfully private, professionally landscaped rear garden complete with a garden studio.

From the moment you arrive, the quality of this home is evident. The carriage driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to the garage. Internally, the property has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create an impressive and versatile layout, ideal for both family living and entertaining.

The heart of the home is the stunning 24ft living room, flooded with natural light from expansive windows and featuring a woodburner that creates a warm yet contemporary focal point.
