EXCEPTIONAL DETACHED 4 BEDROOM DORMER BUNGALOW ON C. 0.7 ACRE

Stone Lodge is a substantial detached dormer bungalow extending to approximately 4,050 sq.ft. (c. 376 sq.m.), occupying a mature c. 0.7 acre site within a quiet cul-de-sac setting, yet conveniently located within walking distance of the town centre.

The property is approached by a tarmacadam horseshoe driveway with dual entrances, set amidst beautifully maintained grounds which are mainly laid out in lawn and bordered by a selection of mature trees and hedging. This attractive setting provides a private and peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle, while still offering immediate access to the excellent amenities of the town.

The residence is presented in excellent condition throughout and boasts a number of attractive features including a sandstone and brick façade, double glazed windows, oil-fired central heating with new burner, and a Rayburn oil-fired cooker. The well-appointed cream fitted kitchen with island unit and granite worktop forms the heart of the home. The property provides four generous bedrooms and four bathrooms, creating a spacious and comfortable family residence. Rarely does such a substantial home come to the market so close to the town centre, offering the ideal balance of peaceful seclusion and everyday convenience.

Upon entering the property, a spacious entrance hall with sweeping staircase sets the tone for the accommodation within. Double doors lead to a large sitting room featuring a bay window, mahogany fireplace with gas fire, and French doors. To the rear of the house lies the impressive kitchen / dining / living area, featuring a cream fitted kitchen with granite-topped island unit and French doors opening to the rear garden. A brick chimney with open fire creates a welcoming focal point.

Off the kitchen through double doors is the livingroom with striking stone chimney with open fire, vaulted ceiling, wooden floor and French doors. From here, double doors open to a fully fitted bar area with counter, mirrors and display shelving, creating an ideal space for entertaining. Also off the kitchen is the diningroom with mahogany fireplace with gas fire and wall lighting. The ground floor accommodation also includes utility room, guest w.c., bedroom and family bathroom.

Upstairs, a large landing area leads to three further bedrooms, each benefiting from ensuite bathrooms, along with a separate office, providing excellent flexibility for modern family living.

Stone Lodge enjoys a highly convenient location on the edge of town, within walking distance of schools, restaurants, cafés, pubs, banks and a wide range of shopping facilities.
