## Description

This superb semi-detached true bungalow has several key features that makes it stand out from your typical bungalow and makes it an incredibly rare and highly desirable prospect for anyone looking for a property offering spacious 'one-floor' living. 

These notable features include a fantastic location next to a farm with open sunny aspects to side and rear, great initial kerb-appeal, set back from the most sought after section of Downall Green Road and spacious extended accommodation comprising three bedrooms, rear sitting room and good sized kitchen. 

Benefiting from a chain-free sale, the property does require modernising but has recently benefited from significant external upgrades that include a new roof, repointing to side and chimney plus a relatively new shower room inside. The property provides buyers with a blank canvas brimming with possibilities for the next occupants to infuse it with their personal touch.

Outside there are enclosed gardens to front and rear with pretty lawned front and rear gardens together with a long driveway leading to a detached garage.

An inspection is imperative to fully appreciate the extraordinary setting, the captivating panoramas, and the fantastic living space this home provides.

We are advised that the tenure is leasehold with 999 Year lease From 1 May 1956. Council tax band is B. We are advised there is a ground rent payable each year and advise any prospective buyers obtain full details prior to making an offer.
