Set well back from the road, situated on a private road and framed by mature trees, this exceptional detached three-bedroom bungalow enjoys a wonderfully secluded position, offering a rare level of privacy and tranquillity whilst benefiting from being within walking distance of the town centre. From the moment you arrive, there is an unmistakable sense of calm, as though the outside world has been gently left behind. The approach is both elegant and reassuring. A sweeping driveway draws you through the greenery, creating a strong sense of arrival and a feeling of quiet exclusivity. This is a home that feels hidden rather than isolated, providing complete discretion while remaining conveniently placed for everyday amenities. It is a location that perfectly balances connection and escape, ideal for those who value privacy without compromise. Internally, the property has been comprehensively reimagined and fully renovated by the current owners to create a home of exceptional quality and understated luxury. Every decision has been made with care, not only to enhance the aesthetic, but to elevate the way the space functions and flows. Natural light has been maximised throughout, while thoughtful proportions ensure each room feels generous, yet welcoming. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, a beautifully considered environment designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Contemporary cabinetry, refined work surfaces and integrated appliances are complemented by soft ambient lighting and carefully positioned windows that frame views of the garden. The connection between inside and out is constant, allowing the seasons to become part of daily life. This is a space equally suited to quiet mornings with a coffee, relaxed family gatherings or evenings spent entertaining friends in comfort and style. The accommodation continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering its own sense of retreat and privacy. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, styled with calm, neutral tones and an elegant simplicity that promotes rest and relaxation. It is complemented by a truly indulgent en-suite bathroom that rivals those found in luxury hotels or private spas. Finished in full-height stone-effect tiling, the en-suite is both refined and inviting. A sleek vanity unit with integrated storage is paired with an illuminated mirror, creating a soft and calming ambience. Brushed brass fittings introduce a subtle sense of glamour, while the freestanding bath forms a striking focal point, perfectly positioned to encourage moments of quiet indulgence. This is a space designed to slow the pace of life, offering a daily sense of retreat within the comfort of your own home. Two further bedrooms are presented to the same exacting standard, each light-filled and adaptable to a variety of uses. Whether utilised as guest accommodation, elegant home offices or creative spaces, they provide flexibility without sacrificing comfort or style. These rooms are served by a contemporary shower room, finished with full-height stone-effect tiling, a walk-in glass enclosure and a modern vanity unit. Thoughtfully designed lighting and quality fittings elevate the space, ensuring it feels both practical and luxurious. Stepping outside, Rowley Bank continues to impress. The private rear garden is a beautifully established sanctuary, enclosed and peaceful, offering a variety of areas to enjoy throughout the day. Open lawns invite relaxation and outdoor dining, while mature planting and shaded corners provide privacy and a sense of enclosure. Whether entertaining guests, enjoying long summer evenings or simply listening to birdsong, the garden offers a natural extension of the home’s tranquil atmosphere. The bungalow’s detached position ensures privacy on all sides, while the generous driveway provides ample parking for residents and visitors alike. Every aspect of the property has been carefully considered, from the effortless flow of the interiors to the serenity of the outdoor spaces, resulting in a home that feels cohesive, balanced and deeply comfortable. Properties of this calibre are exceptionally rare, particularly those offering single-storey living, high-end finishes and such a discreet and desirable setting. Rowley Bank is not simply a house, but a lifestyle choice, one defined by ease, elegance and quiet luxury. This is a home that must be experienced to be fully appreciated and one that leaves a lasting impression long after the visit has ended. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115435) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115436) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115437) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115438) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115439) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115440) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115441) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115442) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115443) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115444) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115445) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115446) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115447) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115448) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115449) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115450) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115451) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115452) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115453) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115454) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115455) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115456) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115457) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87591807/115458) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/87591807/115459) - Floorplan 1 - ![Floorplan 2](/listings/photos/87591807/115460) - Floorplan 2 - ![Floorplan 3](/listings/photos/87591807/115461) - Floorplan 3 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/87591807/115462) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
