The property stands in a generous, level corner plot extending to 0.10 acres approximately with gardens at the front, side and rear. The main side garden is laid to lawn, enjoys good privacy and a sunny southerly aspect. The bungalow benefits from private driveway parking for three cars (with scope for more, subject to the necessary planning permission) leading to a large, attached one-and-a-half size garage / workshop.
