Fleetwood Gardens, Market Harborough

A deceptively spacious and highly versatile four-bedroom detached bungalow, offering significantly extended accommodation, a superb open-plan living kitchen, generous reception space and a detached garden office/workshop. Offered to the market with the added benefit of no upward chain.

Accommodation - This spacious property offers considerably more accommodation than its frontage might initially suggest, having been substantially extended to create a flexible single-storey home of approximately 1,786 sq. ft in total. At its heart is an impressive open-plan living/dining kitchen, complemented by a large sitting room, gym/playroom/bar and study/bedroom four, while three bedrooms include a principal suite with its own shower room. Outside, the low-maintenance garden incorporates an excellent detached outbuilding, currently arranged as a workshop/summerhouse and separate office, providing valuable additional space for those working from home or pursuing hobbies. The photographs show the property's bright, spacious interiors and particularly useful garden building.

The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the property, which benefits from a handy store cupboard, and leads through to the impressive open-plan living/dining kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry and incorporates a breakfast bar, while the adjoining living and dining area provides plenty of room for both relaxed seating and a substantial dining table. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, bringing plenty of natural light into the room and creating an easy connection between inside and out. A useful utility room sits just beyond the kitchen, where there is white appliance space, Belfast sink and additional storage.

The extended accommodation continues into an exceptionally generous sitting room, creating a second substantial living space away from the open-plan kitchen. Beyond this is a long and highly versatile gym/playroom/bar, which could equally serve as a games room, hobby room or further family space, together with a useful store. A separate study/bedroom four provides a dedicated area for home working and large overhead storage cupboard. The scale and flexibility of these additional rooms make the bungalow particularly well suited to purchasers looking for more than conventional single-storey accommodation.

There are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom positioned within the extended part of the property and benefitting from a large, fitted wardrobe with ample overhead storage and its own en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are situated towards the front, served by the main bathroom. The accommodation is predominantly neutrally presented, with natural wood flooring featuring throughout much of the principal living space and extensive roof glazing bringing additional light into the extended areas.

Outside - To the front, the bungalow is set behind a gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking, with gated access continuing alongside the property through to the rear, store and former garage. The frontage is deliberately low maintenance, complementing the practical nature of the home.

The extremely private rear garden has similarly been designed with ease of upkeep in mind, combining paved and gravelled areas with an area of artificial lawn and a timber pergola, creating several places in which to sit and entertain. There is a garden shed providing additional storage. A major feature is the substantial detached timber outbuilding, divided to provide a workshop/summerhouse and a separate office. This is an excellent addition for anyone working from home and offers considerable potential as a studio, hobby space or garden retreat.
