Description
As you step inside, a bright and welcoming hallway sets the tone — wide, airy and full of natural light, it creates an immediate sense of space and flow.
At the front of the property, you’ll find two standout living areas. The spacious lounge is a relaxing retreat, featuring two large windows that bring in the daylight and a log burner that adds a cosy focal point. Directly opposite is a generous kitchen/diner, perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Fitted with cream matt wall and base units, a central island, and a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge freezer, there’s also space for a Rangemaster-style cooker with a modern extractor hood above. It’s a space with real heart — ideal for family meals or hosting friends.
A separate utility room sits just down the hallway, with dedicated space for a washing machine and dryer, keeping laundry out of sight and out of the way.
Towards the rear of the bungalow, you’ll find three generously sized double bedrooms, each offering peaceful views over the back of the property and plenty of room for furniture. The family bathroom is also located at the rear and features a walk-in shower, WC, and wash hand basin, fresh, functional, and ready for everyday use, with room to update if desired.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The front garden is laid to lawn and well-maintained, offering a lovely outlook and a welcoming first impression. To the rear, a private, small low-maintenance courtyard provides a quiet outdoor space for relaxing, dining, or pottering with a few potted plants.
A standout feature is the double garage, complete with an electric door and boarded storage above — ideal for extra storage or workshop use. The large driveway can accommodates 4–5 vehicles, making this home especially practical for households with multiple cars or visiting guests.
Additional benefits include oil-fired central heating, double glazing throughout, and a layout that combines comfort with convenience.
Whether you’re looking to downsize, relocate, or find a home with scope to make your own, this well-proportioned bungalow is a rare find in a popular village location.
Viewings are highly recommended — properties like this don’t stay available for long.
