Description

If you have the time and enjoy being outside you'll love pottering about in the front and back gardens of this wonderful bungalow. If the weather suggests, as it often does, that you'd be better off inside, the extended lounge is a perfect vantage point to still admire your hard work. The rear wall of the lounge has been opened up with French doors and side windows which really lets the light flood in.The rest of the bungalow is surprisingly large, there's even a dining room for when you have guests.Anybody looking for a convenient location will certainly appreciate the fact that there's a doctors at the end of the road and a bus route just round the corner.
