Description

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
This exceptional residential offering represents a genuinely rare buying opportunity positioned just a short, relaxed stroll from the vibrant heart of Bunbury village centre. Tucked away at the head of an most attractive cul de sac, this substantial true bungalow enjoys the significant and enviable advantage of no passing traffic, offering an oasis of relative peace and privacy in a central village setting.
Constructed originally by a local builder of considerable repute, this wonderful detached bungalow has been cherished by only two owners throughout its history. It stands as a triumph of high quality builder specification combined with intelligent, thoughtful and effective design. While serving effortlessly as a spacious family residence, it is perhaps even more suited as an outstanding downsizing option for buyers transitioning from a larger or more rural setting. The bungalow seamlessly marries the structural reassurance and energy efficiency of a modern build with the aesthetic grace and warmth typically found in older properties of character.
Upon entering, the accommodation opens with an entrance hall that flows naturally into a dining room, with a charming bay window facing the front elevation. Finished with tiled flooring and detailed coved ceilings, this flexible room can be effortlessly repurposed to suit an array of individual requirements. Adjacent to this lies the heart of the home, an open plan farmhouse style breakfast kitchen. This culinary space features an extensive array of quality cabinetry, integrated appliances, and striking black granite preparation surfaces. The indisputable centerpiece of this space is the iconic cream Aga, radiating warmth, timeless appeal……any in my experience the best roast potatoes you are ever likely to taste! A door from the kitchen leads directly to a separate utility room, while a framed opening connects the kitchen directly to a light filled garden room, featuring double doors that open directly onto the rear patio.
The main living room serves as a refined sanctuary for relaxation and entertaining family, centered around an elegant feature fireplace. This principal reception room is further elevated by decorative coved ceilings and recently installed bespoke display shelving with integrated cabinetry.
The accommodation continues with a spacious principal bedroom complete with its own en suite shower room. A generous sized second bedroom offers built in storage via two sets of double wardrobes. The second, third and fourth bedrooms are served by a exquisite family bathroom installed within the last two years, fully tiled and presenting the pinnacle of contemporary interior design.
Surrounding the entire home, the delightful gardens wrap around all four sides of the property. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and has an Indian Stone patio. The beds are superbly stocked. There is a side garden with raised beds and greenhouse. To the front off road parking and garage.
