Description
“Wake up to birdsong, unwind with countryside views and enjoy bungalow living exactly as it should be.”
Occupying a generous plot along one of Loggerheads’ most desirable residential lanes, this beautifully maintained detached bungalow enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by attractive gardens and delightful countryside views, offering spacious single-storey living ideal for a wide range of buyers.
Stepping through the entrance porch, you’re welcomed into a bright and spacious L-shaped reception hallway which provides access to every room within the home. To the left is an impressive open-plan family space comprising a generous living room featuring a charming fireplace and attractive bay window overlooking the front garden. The living room flows naturally into the dining area where sliding patio doors invite an abundance of natural light and create a seamless connection into the superb sunroom beyond.
The sunroom is undoubtedly one of the property’s standout features, providing a wonderful additional reception room with panoramic views across the rear garden and direct access onto the patio, making it the perfect place to relax throughout the seasons.
Adjacent to the dining area sits the modern shaker-style kitchen, fitted with an excellent range of wall and base units complemented by generous worktop space, integrated cooking appliances and room for further white goods. A second doorway also leads directly into the sunroom, creating an excellent flow for both everyday living and entertaining.
Returning to the hallway, two useful built-in storage cupboards provide practical everyday storage before leading to the bedroom accommodation. The contemporary family bathroom has been fitted with a modern white suite comprising a shaped panel bath with shower over, vanity wash basin and WC.
Bedroom Three is currently arranged as a guest bedroom but would equally make an ideal home office, hobby room or nursery. Bedroom Two is another generous double overlooking the rear garden with ample space for wardrobes and is presently utilised as a study. Completing the accommodation is the spacious principal bedroom, benefiting from fitted wardrobes and its own modern en-suite shower room.
Externally, the property continues to impress with beautifully maintained gardens to both the front and rear. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, established planting and attractive borders creating an inviting first impression, whilst a substantial tarmac driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the detached double garage complete with electric roller shutter door and useful side access.
The rear garden enjoys an excellent degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully landscaped with a generous lawn, mature hedging, colourful planting and patio seating areas perfectly positioned to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and attractive countryside backdrop.
Located on the edge of Loggerheads, this superb home combines village living with excellent convenience. Everyday amenities including shops, cafés, doctors, pharmacy and highly regarded primary schooling are all close by, whilst nearby Market Drayton and Newcastle-under-Lyme provide a wider range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities. Excellent road links via the A53 and A51 offer straightforward access towards Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and Shrewsbury, whilst the surrounding countryside provides endless opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
