This detached bungalow has been extended and updated over the years to provide well-balanced accommodation, complemented by a south-facing rear garden. The property includes a fitted kitchen, together with two reception areas centred around a spacious garden/dining room stretching across the rear of the house with French doors opening onto the garden. Folding doors connect through to the sitting room, which features a fireplace with gas fire.

The entrance hall provides loft access and leads through to the principal rooms, including two double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, together with a family bathroom with bath and shower overhead.
