A Rare Opportunity to Acquire a Beautifully Maintained, 3 Bed Detached Bungalow with Exceptional Gardens

Having remained within the same family for many years, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained three-bedroom detached bungalow, peacefully positioned along a quiet road and enjoying delightful open views. Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully upgraded over time, the property benefits from recent improvements including solar panels and a new oil tank installed circa 2023, along with a sewerage treatment plant.

The accommodation is both well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. A welcoming entrance hall provides a natural divide between the living and sleeping areas of the home. The living room is a bright and generous space, featuring twin front-aspect windows that capture the surrounding views, along with a gas fire (Calor gas) creating a warm focal point.

To the rear, the dining kitchen overlooks the stunning gardens and offers ample space for dining. Fitted with a range of quality units with under-cabinet lighting and a stainless steel sink, the kitchen also provides space for freestanding appliances including a cooker, washing machine and tumble dryer. A useful cloaks cupboard enhances practicality, while patio doors open into the sun room.

The sun room, complete with a recently replaced roof and wall-mounted electric fire, provides a wonderful additional reception space and enjoys panoramic views across the beautifully landscaped gardens—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the setting throughout the seasons.

Externally, the property truly excels. A detached single garage with power and lighting is complemented by driveway parking. However, it is the wraparound gardens that are undoubtedly the standout feature of this exceptional home.

Beginning at the front, where both the gardens and views impress in equal measure, the grounds extend seamlessly to the side and rear, each area thoughtfully landscaped and meticulously maintained. The gardens are rich with established flower beds, offering a vibrant display of seasonal colour, alongside mature shrubs and trees that provide structure and privacy. Two greenhouses support keen gardeners, while a dedicated vegetable garden encourages a self-sufficient lifestyle. A stocked pond adds to the tranquil atmosphere.

A the garden continues, further delights await, including cleverly positioned storage sheds and a charming seating nook beside the gently flowing beck at the foot of the garden—an idyllic and peaceful retreat. Crossing the beck, known as Sandwath Sike, you discover an additional area of garden, incorporating a meadow that bursts into life with daffodils in spring, a further shed, and an expanse of lawn offering exciting potential for a variety of uses.

This is a truly special property, offering not only a comfortable and well-maintained home but also a lifestyle opportunity rarely found. With its generous plot, versatile outdoor spaces and peaceful setting, it will appeal to a wide range of buyers seeking a long-term home in a beautiful environment.
