Description

This well presented, imposing, deceptively spacious, freehold, detached bungalow, is nestled in a peaceful, centrally located cul-de-sac, just a short stroll from a range of shopping facilities available at ‘The Crown’. The property accordingly offers excellent public transport locally, including access to the Cross City rail line and furthermore is positioned within only a few hundred metres of Sutton Park, with all it’s natural beauty and walkways, together with well regarded schooling for all ages within the area. Complemented by gas central heating and pvc double glazing (both where specified), the property combines style and comfort as either a spacious retirement bungalow or perhaps a well proportioned family home. The property features three good sized bedrooms, the master having an en-suite bathroom, together with a well appointed family bathroom with feature roll top bath. A spacious lounge provides a welcoming reception room, whilst a large dining room seamlessly combines with a garden/sitting area, perfect for relaxation/entertaining. A versatile study, which could also serve as a potential fourth bedroom, adds flexibility to the property. A comprehensively fitted breakfast kitchen is ideal for family meals and indeed there is a separate utility room off, providing additional convenience. Completing the property is a double garage providing ample storage space, furthermore set to the rear is a private lawned garden. To fully appreciate the accommodation on offer and its generous proportions, we highly recommend an internal inspection. A freehold property set in council tax band F. EPC rating - TBC
