Description
Wood Hall Bungalow is a detached dwelling dating from the 1960s of what appears to be brick and block construction with rendered elevations under a tiled roof.  It is anticipated that while some people may enjoy the bungalow as it is, others may choose to extend and modernise the property.  In addition is a newer barn/garage with accommodation above and this has great scope to be used as an annexe or home office.

A porch to the rear of the bungalow leads to the hallway where there are cloak and airing cupboards.  From here, doors lead off to the kitchen, reception rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms.  Of particular note is the triple aspect, open plan kitchen/dining room.  This has views over the grounds and adjacent fields to the north-east and south.  Off this is a side hall and double doors open to the sitting room which again has windows and sliding doors opening out to the gardens.  There are three double bedrooms with views over the garden and in addition is a bathroom and a separate shower room.  The house benefits from oil fired central heating and there are UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout.

Outside, and accessed off a private track, is a concrete drive leading to the rear of the bungalow where there is ample parking and access to the barn.  This has three open fronted garages plus an enclosed garage with double doors to the front.  It is home to the oil fired boiler along with a water softener and a cloakroom with WC.  Stairs lead up to a study, with central heating and also a large store room.

Abutting the rear of the barn is a lean-to store shed that measures approximately 27’ x 9’ 5.  

The gardens surround the house and are mainly laid to lawn but contain shrubs, flower beds and mature trees.  In all, the grounds extend to approximately 0.68 acres.
