The property offers up to five bedrooms if required, three bath/shower rooms, good storage and welcoming reception rooms. The property is beautifully presented both inside and out.

The stylish, triple aspect, kitchen/dining room is particularly impressive, the modern fitted kitchen features a large central island incorporating a free-standing range oven with induction hob and extractor above, there is also space for a large American style fridge-freezer and dishwasher. The wall and base units, together with the island provide good storage and lots of preparation space. There is ample room for a large dining table and further seating if desired, there is an attractive feature fireplace with wood burning stove to one end of the room, and sliding glazed doors to the other which open onto a paved terrace and the gardens beyond, which creates a very welcoming and sociable heart to the home, ideal for all seasons.

The sitting room enjoys the outlook over the garden, with vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace with woodburning stove; the sitting room leads to the conservatory which brings the outdoors indoors, with French doors opening onto the terrace and gardens.

There is a study, which is ideal for any working from home needs and running the family home.

The spacious principal bedroom has a dressing room providing generous and discreet storage with an ensuite shower room and very pleasant outlook over the rear garden.

There is a further shower room with WC to one end of the bungalow which also incorporates the utility room with sink and space for white goods and easy access to the boiler. There is a further WC accessed from the entrance hall.

Outside: Plovers Crest sits in a good-sized plot with established gardens that wrap around the property, with attractive and established planting providing colour and interest. There are three large paved terraces to chase, or shelter from, the sun, providing a choice of lovely areas from which to entertain.

Part of the garden has been sympathetically sectioned off to give Plovers Crest Cottage its own well-screened private area of garden to enjoy.

Plovers Crest Cottage: The annexe is a very useful addition to the property, with two good-sized double bedrooms, a separate shower room and two reception rooms in addition to the kitchen. The modern fitted kitchen provides good storage and preparation space with ample room for a range of appliances.

The sitting room and dining room both enjoy the view over the garden and the sitting room benefits from a wood burning stove, which creates a lovely focal point, and has French doors leading to a seating area and gardens beyond. This is a very comfortable and generous space that can be used to suit individual needs, with scope for multi-generational living, overflow guest accommodation, or could be used to house a home office/studio/gym as required.

There is ample driveway parking for numerous vehicles for both Plovers Crest and Plovers Crest Cottage.
