A Truly Unique Three-Bedroom Detached Bungalow in an Enviable Private Road Setting.

A truly unique opportunity to acquire a traditional brick-built detached three-bedroom bungalow, built in 1963, occupying a wonderfully generous plot in an exceptionally peaceful and sought-after private road, shared with just two other homes. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this charming property enjoys a leafy, secluded and wonderfully private setting, which really must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Surrounded by mature, established woodland, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy and seclusion to both the front and rear, creating a peaceful, semi-rural setting that is increasingly rare to find. The private, wooded approach further enhances the property's distinctive character and sense of exclusivity.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's outstanding features, extending to approximately 80ft x 45ft in total, including an additional section of garden purchased separately by the current owners and situated to the side of the plot. Beautifully established and richly planted with an abundance of mature trees and shrubs, the gardens provide a wonderful natural backdrop, offering further outdoor space, enhanced privacy and exciting potential to extend or reconfigure the property, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

To the front, the property enjoys a private, gravelled frontage with a driveway providing ample off-road parking and a useful turning area. There is also a garage situated to the side of the property, fitted with an wooden door and a separate personal access door.

Built in 1963, this traditional brick-built bungalow offers well-proportioned accommodation with considerable scope for a purchaser wishing to extend, remodel or create a home tailored to their own requirements. The generous plot provides an exciting opportunity to enhance the existing accommodation and make the most of this exceptional setting.

The accommodation currently comprises a welcoming entrance hallway leading through to a spacious double-aspect sitting/dining room, featuring a charming wood-burning stove which provides a cosy focal point. There are three bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes, together with a family bathroom.

Above, a substantial loft space, already fully boarded, provides excellent additional storage and exciting potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

Of particular note are the property's environmental credentials. The bungalow is currently benefiting from the installation of a brand-new air-source heat pump heating system, replacing the existing oil-fired central heating. The installation is being undertaken with the assistance of an Ofgem government grant, providing the incoming purchaser with the benefit of a modern, more sustainable heating system. This represents a positive step towards improved energy efficiency and a reduced reliance on traditional oil-fired heating. Further benefits include double glazing and the attractive wood-burning stove.

The location is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets. Situated within a highly regarded village, this is an enviable position combining peace, privacy and a wonderful leafy setting, whilst enjoying the appeal of an established and desirable village community.

Combining a desirable village location, an unusually private wooded setting, generous established gardens and considerable scope to enhance and personalise, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a detached home with both immediate appeal and significant future potential.

Properties in such private and secluded settings, particularly those sharing a private road with just two other homes, rarely come to the market. An early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, generous grounds and enormous potential this exceptional bungalow has to offer.
