Description

Heywoods Estate Agents proudly welcome to the market this detached true bungalow situated on the popular Chelmorton Drive in Lightwood, Stoke on Trent. Tucked away in a quiet and well regarded residential location, this spacious and well configured home has been thoughtfully refurbished and is beautifully presented throughout, offering fresh décor, new windows, new roof, extension and conservatory and stylish plantation shutters that enhance both comfort and kerb appeal.
Approaching the property, you are greeted by a driveway providing off road parking for two vehicles, leading alongside the home towards the detached garage. The frontage is neat and inviting, setting the tone for what lies beyond.
Stepping inside, a spacious entrance hallway provides an immediate sense of openness and flow, giving access to the principal rooms. The bungalow was originally designed as a three bedroom home and has been reconfigured by the current owners to create more generous living space, resulting in a layout that feels both practical and versatile.
The lounge and dining room is particularly impressive, offering a large and welcoming space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. A modern feature fireplace creates an attractive focal point, while the fresh décor and plantation shutters add a contemporary yet homely feel.
The modern fitted kitchen is well appointed with ample storage and work surface space, designed to cater effortlessly to everyday living. From here, the home continues to impress with a delightful conservatory, a wonderful additional reception area that enjoys views over the garden and features a charming wood burner, making it a cosy retreat throughout the seasons.
There are two spacious double bedrooms, both well proportioned and thoughtfully presented. The principal bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room, while a separate three piece bathroom suite serves the rest of the home, finished in a clean and modern style and a guest W.C/Cloaks room.
Externally, the property continues to impress with an attractive South Facing enclosed rear garden that enjoys the sun all day and is not overlooked. Predominantly laid to lawn, it also offers a seating area perfect for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The detached garage provides further storage or secure parking options.
Ideally located close to local amenities and offering convenient access to the A50, this wonderful bungalow combines quiet residential living with excellent connectivity. Viewing is highly advised to fully appreciate the space, presentation and setting this delightful home has to offer.
