Description

Thought to have been built in the 1960s, this individually designed and built bungalow is of traditional construction and has been much enhanced and extended in recent years, now offering versatile living space of around 1,300 sq ft. The property is heated by a modern oil-fired central heating boiler, installed in 2025 alongside a replacement oil tank fitted in 2026. It's further supported by privately owned solar panels, installed roughly 10 years ago, which generate a feed-in tariff of 0.18p per kilowatt. Combined with good insulation levels, this makes for a highly energy-efficient home with an EPC C rating.

This home offers well laid out, flexible accommodation, presented in excellent decorative order throughout and lovingly maintained.
The kitchen/diner is a real highlight—two large rooms opened up into one expansive, open-plan living space, complete with vaulted ceilings and views over the rear gardens. The modern kitchen boasts extensive storage and integrated appliances, with the range stove taking centre stage. Adjacent, you'll find a matching utility room, fitted to the same high standard with plenty of storage space.
To the front of the house sits a well-proportioned reception room, currently used as a formal dining room and enjoying a dual aspect with leafy, green views.
The bedrooms are set apart from the main living space, offering a peaceful retreat. Three of the four bedrooms are generous doubles, whilst the principal bedroom enjoys the luxury of a modern, immaculately presented en-suite (recently replaced).  Both this and the main bathroom are finished to a high specification.

Externally

Set back from a small country lane, the property boasts established front gardens enclosed by attractive post and rail fencing, with a leafy green backdrop enhancing the front aspect. The driveway and parking are located to the rear of the bungalow, offering ample off-road parking for three to four cars and leading to the garage/workshop. Additional storage is provided by two high-quality timber sheds, positioned parallel to the garage. To the rear of the bungalow, a paved patio extends off the kitchen/diner, creating the perfect space for alfresco dining. Both sides of the property offer generous space, complete with planted borders.
