Description - Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac yet just a short walk from the bustling town centre, this attractive detached chalet bungalow offers spacious and versatile accommodation, a generous wraparound private garden and excellent off-road parking. Offered for sale with no onward chain.

Set well back from the road and discreetly screened by mature trees and shrubs, the property enjoys a pleasantly secluded position. A private driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached garage, with a pathway continuing to the front entrance.

The accommodation begins with a good-sized entrance porch opening into a spacious entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first-floor gallery landing.

On the ground floor are three versatile reception rooms, one of which could readily be used as a bedroom. The front reception room overlooks the driveway and features casement doors opening onto the garden. The principal living room is positioned to the rear and is a particularly attractive space, with white-framed patio doors and a deep window overlooking the gardens. An open brick fireplace provides a charming focal point.

Adjoining the living room is a kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of storage cupboards, work surfaces and free standing oven, over looks the garden. A useful utility/boot room provides plumbing for a washing machine, houses the gas-fired heating boiler and benefits from a rear entrance door.

A further reception room, currently suitable for use as a ground-floor bedroom, is positioned at the front of the property with an adjacent shower room, providing useful flexibility for guests, family members or those seeking single-storey living.

Upstairs, the spacious gallery landing incorporates a useful study area beneath a roof light, together with a built-in airing cupboard. There are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive gable windows and views over the rear garden. A further shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the wraparound gardens are a particular feature of the property, providing a lovely degree of privacy and seclusion. The gardens are principally laid to lawn and enclosed by established hedging and mature shrubs, creating an attractive and wildlife-friendly setting. Further features include a wildlife pond, timber summer house and large timber store, with a hand gate providing access from the driveway.

The property benefits from gas-fired central heating and double glazing and is offered for sale with no onward chain.

This is a highly versatile home in a peaceful and private setting, while remaining within easy walking distance of the town centre and its range of shops, amenities and facilities.
