## Description

Requiring modernisation is this extended detached two bedroom bungalow which benefits from a generously sized width plot and double detached garage. The gardens are low maintenance, mainly being patio to the rear and side, however there are also vegetable plots and raised beds to the front for garden enthusiasts. There is an extended dining room to complement the through lounge/diner with serving hatch from kitchen. The property also has the benefit of no onward chain and is in the ever popular location of Capel. Don't delay, view today!What the Owner says:"My sister needed a bungalow which didn't require too much attention to the gardens and this property suited her needs. The small patio areas to the back and side gave her the outside space without the ongoing maintenance. She also benefited from the flower borders to the front and vegetable patch. We particularly benefited from the double garage  when family came to stay and for storage. Capel is a lovely village. When I had the bungalow double glazed it really helped keep the gas bills down. I had the electrics checked and upgraded this summer."Room sizes:**GROUND FLOOR****Entrance Hall****Lounge**: 21'8 × 17'11 (6.61m × 5.46m) narrowing to 8'7 × 11'11 (2.62m × 3.63m)**Dining Room**: 12'9 × 11'4 (3.89m × 3.46m)**Kitchen**: 8'10 × 8'7 (2.69m × 2.62m)**Utility Room****Bedroom 1**: 12'9 × 9'11 (3.89m × 3.02m)**Bedroom 2**: 12'6 × 8'10 (3.81m × 2.69m)**Bathroom****OUTSIDE****Rear Patio****Side Garden****Front Garden****Detached Double Garage****Driveway**
