Bassenhally Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Who Says A Bungalow Can't Have It All? This has two stylish bedroom suites upstairs, another suite (plus a another double bedroom) downstairs, a 25ft living room, a garden room with a log burner and bi-fold doors. And trains to London are just 20 minutes away.

The truth is, most bungalows ask you to trade space for simplicity. This one didn't get the memo. What's been created here - through some seriously well-executed updating and finishing - is a home that lives like a substantial detached house, with a layout that genuinely works for grown-up life.

From the front, it's smart and looks the business - with stone detailing, a gated block-paved drive and a built-in single garage - but nothing prepares you for quite how much space is on the other side of the front door.

The 25ft living room sets the tone immediately, with pale oak flooring and French doors opening to the garden.

The kitchen is exactly what a house like this deserves - a full shaker-style fitted kitchen with granite worktops, a central island, a large American fridge-freezer, integrated appliances and teal metro tile splashbacks that give it real personality.

But the real heart of the house is the garden room that flows from it - a light-filled, slate-feature-walled space with a log burner at its centre, skylights above, bi-fold doors on one side and French doors on the other - all opening out onto the south-facing paved terrace and lawn.

A separate utility room sits alongside, keeping the kitchen clutter-free.

There are two bedrooms downstairs. The main bedroom suite has a dressing room and a stylish ensuite shower room. Another bedroom and a family bathroom - finished in warm stone-effect tiling - complete the ground floor picture.

Head upstairs and there are two further bedroom suites, each with a dressing room and ensuite shower room. The larger of the two has a vaulted ceiling, a feature wall in duck-egg blue and the kind of calm, airy feel that makes getting up in the morning considerably easier.

Outside, the south-facing garden has a large paved seating area running along the back of the house - perfect for the bi-folds and the French doors to do their thing - with a neat lawn and side access.

Whittlesey town centre is only a ten-minute walk away, and Whittlesea station is close enough that leaving the car at home is a genuinely realistic option.

Peterborough is around 20 minutes away by train - and from Peterborough, the East Coast Mainline puts you on a King's Cross platform in around an hour.

Alderman Jacobs Primary School and Sir Harry Smith Community College are both within easy walking distance, which makes this a strong option for families too.
