“A Surprisingly Versatile Home With Exceptional Ancillary Space”

Set quietly towards the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this beautifully presented detached bungalow offers considerably more space, flexibility and versatility than you might initially expect.

The property sits on an established plot of approximately 0.16 acres and combines well-proportioned accommodation, extensive parking, mature gardens and an incredibly useful detached ancillary building — making it a home that should appeal equally to families, downsizers, home workers or buyers looking for additional space for visiting relatives.

The current owners have carefully improved and maintained the property, creating a bright and stylish home whilst retaining a comfortable and practical layout.

A newly constructed entrance porch provides a welcoming approach and leads into the main accommodation, which includes three bedrooms, two separate reception rooms and a modern four-piece family bathroom.

The principal sitting room is particularly attractive, benefiting from a dual aspect which creates plenty of natural light, together with a feature log-burning stove providing a strong focal point.

The modern kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and sociable, with ample space for everyday dining and doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

One of the property's real points of difference is the substantial detached timber building positioned within the grounds. Insulated and benefiting from planning permission for ancillary use, it offers a fantastic range of possibilities. Whether used as guest accommodation, a substantial home office, gym, studio or hobby room, it creates a level of flexibility rarely found with properties of this type.

When the main bungalow and ancillary space are considered together, the accommodation has the potential to offer up to four bedrooms, three reception areas and two bath/shower rooms.

Outside, the rear garden is a particularly enjoyable feature. Extending to approximately 65 feet and enjoying a desirable westerly aspect, it offers a combination of lawn, paved seating areas, mature planting, trees, shrubs and established boundaries.

The detached ancillary building also benefits from its own private seating area and low-maintenance section of garden, helping to give the space a degree of separation from the main house.

To the side of the bungalow, twin timber gates open onto a further gravelled area which could be used as additional garden or secure parking. This is particularly well suited to anyone needing space for a motorhome, caravan, boat or additional vehicles.

The main driveway itself provides generous off-road parking and turning, again adding to the practicality of the property.

What makes this home particularly appealing is the combination of its quiet position, flexible accommodation, substantial ancillary space and established gardens. It is the sort of property that really does need to be viewed internally to appreciate everything that is on offer.
