Description
In an idyllic, tranquil, 'edge of rural hamlet' setting; a plot comprising a spacious detached, three bedroom bungalow retreat. Located on the outskirts of the sought after villages of Antony and St John, the property sits in formal gardens of 0.62 acres with adjacent wooded copse opposite of 0.297 acres bordered by stream and benefitting from car port / log store (Agents Note: The plot size has been measured using the Promap mapping system. Prospective purchasers should rely on their own measurements).
(Further Agents Note: The property has full planning permission for a single story annex and a double garage with workshop above - Planning numbers: PA18/02726 PA18/02723
A meandering path leads to the front of the southerly facing property with a raised sun terrace running the length of the property to the side and fenced in by railing. The covered entrance gives access to the property by an external door with side window partition which leads you into an entrance hallway.
Light and spacious, the size of the hallway lays the foundations for the features found thoughout the home – with good width to all rooms.Benefitting from a large double door cloaks cupboard the area also features a pleasing, inset block wood parquet flooring that leads to a right angle with doors to accommodation on both sides.
A dual aspect living room offers some fantastic views over the main garden and across to open farmland and is accessed from the hallway. This is the first time you are truly aware of what a special plot this could be. The bungalow's elevated position really does make a very private retreat and is not overlooked from any angle.
A wood burning stove fireplace with granite hearth creates a real focal point to the living room. Light floods in from the French doors and Juliet balcony to the front and the large window to the side. A doorway at the end of the room leads you through to the Kitchen / Diner.
Again a generously sized room with windows to the rear and double doors to the side, the kitchen has been recently fitted in a matching range of modern base units, sliding pan draws and full height cupboards all complemented by a timber effect work top housing a circular stainless steel sink unit with drainer to side and swan neck mixer tap over. To the side is a uPVC door giving acess to the rear elevation and a doorway giving access to a handy Utility room and separate WC. The WC offers a window to the rear elevation and low level WC with wash hand basin, the pantry consists storage shelving to the side and access to wall mounted electric meters.
The bedrooms are found to one end of the property, opposite the living accommodation and are three in total. The two larger bedrooms face the front elevation and enjoy the best of the views over the gardens. The vendor has informed us that the morning sun streams through bathing the rooms in gentle dappled light. The second bedroom also benefits from built-in double wardrobes. Bedroom Three is also a double and overlooks the side of the property across to the owned woodland adjacent.
The accommodation is finished via a recently installed family bathroom consisting a four piece suite of walk in shower quadrant pedestal wash hand basin, low level wc and roll top free standing bath. The bathroom benefits two uPVC double glazed windows to the rear elevation.
Externally the property sits in a substantial sized plot mostly laid to lawn and hedged by stone walling and natural hedging. A stream runs at the bottom of the garden and the area is suitable for the implementation of a vegetable patch and the keeping of small livestock.
To the side of the bungalow, you find another off road parking area for multiple vehicles.
The woodland owned by the property is separated via a small country lane and offers a carport and attached wooden outbuilding. Believed to have housed a piggery in previous years the area now is covered in natural woodland trees, bushes and fauna and provides a haven for local wildlife. The current owners also have obtained planning permission to build a double garage and workshop in this space.
A detached bungalow peacefully situated in a sheltered valley close to the coast and neighbouring villages of St John and Antony. 19ft sitting room, 19ft kitchen/dining room, utility room, 3 double bedrooms, family bathroom, parking, extensive lawned gardens with stream and woodland, outbuildings and DETAILED PLANNING PERMISSION for a further dwelling, and double garages with workshop/office above.
