We have pleasure in offering to the market this stunning, individual, detached bungalow which has seen a significant programme of redevelopment, having been thoughtfully designed, reconfigured and modernised to a high specification to create a light and airy single storey home within within this quaint hamlet.
The property proves a versatile level of accommodation depending on a prospective client's needs, offering up to three double bedrooms which of course could alternatively be utilised as reception space. The principal room affords a contemporary ensuite and there is a separate main bath/shower room. In addition there are two main reception areas, including a stunning open plan living/dining kitchen which is flooded with light, benefitting from full height glazed doors leading out into the rear garden as well as three sky lanterns to the ceiling. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a generous range of units finished in heritage style colours with quartz preparation surfaces and integrated appliances and is a well proportioned space, large enough to accommodate both living and dining areas. This links through into a further reception space with a log burning stove and window to the front. A useful utility space is, again, well appointed to complement the main kitchen and leads through into what is potentially a secondary entrance hall with cloak room off.
The property is neutrally decorated throughout and benefits from underfloor heating, double glazed windows and upgraded oil fired central heating.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful plot which is relatively generous by modern standards, set well back from the lane behind an electric gated frontage beyond which lies a considerable level of off road parking (with planning approved for a double garage with additional car port) The frontage has been landscaped for relatively low maintenance living and to maximise off road parking. To the rear there is a pleasant, enclosed, mainly lawned garden with an initial terrace providing a pleasant outdoor space linking back into the main living area of the kitchen.
Overall this is a fantastic opportunity for a wide variety of prospective purchasers, whether that is professional couples. potentially families or also those downsizing from considerably larger dwellings and looking for a single storey home within a pleasant village setting.
