** PART ATTACHED BARN CONVERSION/BUNGALOW ** IN EXCESS OF 1,500 SQ.FT. OF ACCOMMODATION ** 3 BEDROOMS ** 2 RECEPTIONS ** ENSUITE & MAIN SHOWER ROOM ** PLEASANT COURTYARD STYLE SETTING ** DRIVEWAY & DOUBLE GARAGE ** MANAGEABLE GARDENS ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **
We have pleasure in offering to the market this unique, interesting, individual part attached, character conversion of a former barn originally completed in the 1980s and offering a versatile level of deceptive accommodation which approaches 1,600 sq.ft.
The bungalow provides elements of character and aesthetically pleasing brick elevations beneath a Welsh slate roof behind which lies two main reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, a shower room and three bedrooms, the main benefitting from ensuite facilities.
The property has seen a general program of modernisation over the years with a relatively modern fitted kitchen and shower rooms as well as double glazed windows and updated gas central heating boiler, although there is some cosmetic updating that may be required to enable you to place your own mark on this home.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a desirable position within the village, located within the conservation area and occupying an established plot which is relatively manageable with gardens landscaped for low maintenance living. To the front is a small lawn area which leads to a walled courtyard area and, at the rear, there is an enclosed garden which links back into the useful addition of a conservatory.
The property is positioned within a small courtyard setting shared with one other adjacent dwelling having a driveway and oversized double garage.
The property is certainly large enough to accommodate small families but in the main will probably appeal to single or professional couples or those downsizing from larger dwellings, looking for an individual home within a well regarded location.
Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
