Occupying a delightful position and offered with no onward chain, this well-maintained detached bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a comfortable home with generous room proportions, beautiful outdoor space and scope to modernise over time. Extending to approximately 1,027 sq. ft., the property has clearly been well cared for throughout its ownership and offers practical single-storey living in a peaceful setting.

The attractive frontage immediately creates a welcoming first impression, with a brickweave driveway providing off-road parking and a distinctive curved brick storm porch adding character and kerb appeal.
