Interior

From the moment you step inside, the impressive scale of this home is clear. Originally two bungalows, it offers a rare and versatile layout ideal for a range of lifestyles. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a central lobby with stairs to the first floor. To the rear, the spacious lounge/diner provides ample room for seating and dining, with sliding doors opening into the conservatory overlooking the mature rear garden. The kitchen is fitted in a classic style with good storage and worktop space. To the front, a separate sitting room offers further flexibility and could serve as an additional bedroom, supporting the home’s 4/5 bedroom potential. The ground floor also includes further adaptable rooms, a study, family bathroom and separate shower room. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with useful eaves storage. Well maintained throughout, the property is ready to move into whilst still offering scope to update and personalise.

Exterior

Externally, this home is equally impressive. Set well back from the road, the broad frontage provides a strong sense of presence, while a substantial gravel driveway offers generous off-street parking for several vehicles. To the rear, the garden is a standout feature, beautifully established with a sweeping lawn, mature shrubs, shaped borders and a choice of seating areas that create a peaceful and picturesque setting. Carefully maintained, it offers a wonderful balance of openness and privacy. A key advantage is that the garden is unoverlooked from behind, with a tree-lined backdrop adding to the secluded feel. This makes it ideal for entertaining, relaxing or enjoying a quieter outdoor lifestyle. There are also useful outbuildings and garden structures already in place, with the size of the plot offering further potential for future enhancement.
