Description

A superb, detached bungalow in a supremely central location, right in the heart of the village with the shops and cliff top literally on your doorstep, yet very quiet and private. The living space is about 1100sqft but doesn’t look as big from the outside- it’s a real ‘tardis!’- and needs to be viewed internally to fully appreciate the size. A very rare chance to acquire a quality bungalow with this convenience to the high street.

Built by Pennyfathing Homes to traditional standards, this quality home is in very good condition and also benefits from a smart garden room extension that was added latterly. Originally designed as a three bed, the existing owners combined beds 1 and 3 to create a large master bedroom and also added an en-suite cloakroom. There is a modern kitchen that leads onto a spacious lounge whilst the delightful gardens wrap around to three sides offering easy to maintain but giving that all important, outside space. No forward chain.
