We have pleasure in offering to the market this individual detached and well thought out bungalow, believed to be of a unique design when it was originally constructed by Able Homes to a high specification with a great deal of thought and attention to detail.

The property occupies an excellent plot in the region of a fifth of an acre with gardens to all sides, generous block set driveway and attached double garage with useful storage in the eaves and electric double width door. The gardens benefit from a southerly rear aspect.

The versatile accommodation offers up to three double bedrooms, ensuite and main bathroom, three reception areas including the useful addition of a conservatory at the rear. The dining kitchen is tastefully appointed with a generous range of units and integrated appliances and access into an adjacent utility. There is a cloakroom leading off the well proportioned entrance hall with an excellent level of storage. A substantial pull-down aluminium ladder leads up into a loft void above providing further storage together with a purpose-built insulated study room situated in the eaves which has acted as a home office and is a really useful versatile space albeit for "occasional use".

The property has neutral decoration throughout and benefits from gas central heating and overall is a fantastic well proportioned single store home tucked away in a small cul de sac setting within this highly regarded established development, within walking distance of the heart of the village with its wealth of amenities.

Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
