## Description

The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles and access to the attached garage. The front door opens into a welcoming and spacious entrance hallway, which in turn provides access to the majority of the accommodation.

To the front elevation is a generous bay-fronted L-shaped lounge/dining room, featuring a fireplace and offering excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining. The modern kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of integrated appliances, complimented by contrasting granite-effect work surfaces.

The accommodation continues with the principal bedroom, which benefits from fitted wardrobes, a dressing table, and a three piece en-suite bathroom that has been adapted to include a raised-access bath, ideal for anyone with mobility considerations.

The second bedroom, currently utilised as a home office, is also a well-proportioned double room with fitted wardrobes and direct access into the conservatory, which enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden.

Externally, the property enjoys a well-maintained front lawn alongside the spacious driveway. The driveway provides access to the attached garage with electric up-and-over door, the main entrance, and gated access to the rear garden.

To the rear is an enclosed garden, predominantly laid to lawn with several patio seating areas and established planted borders, creating a private and enjoyable outdoor space.

Rarely do true bungalows within Chelford come to the market, particularly in such a peaceful location, and the property is offered for sale with the added advantage of No Onward Chain.

Description

Situated within a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after semi-rural village of Chelford, this spacious two-bedroom detached true bungalow offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a slower pace of life whilst remaining within easy reach of Knutsford and its extensive amenities, approximately a 10-minute drive away.

The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles and access to the attached garage. The front door opens into a welcoming and spacious entrance hallway, which in turn provides access to the majority of the accommodation.

To the front elevation is a generous bay-fronted L-shaped lounge/dining room, featuring a fireplace and offering excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining. The modern kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of integrated appliances, complimented by contrasting granite-effect work surfaces.

The accommodation continues with the principal bedroom, which benefits from fitted wardrobes, a dressing table, and a three piece en-suite bathroom that has been adapted to include a raised-access bath, ideal for anyone with mobility considerations.

The second bedroom, currently utilised as a home office, is also a well-proportioned double room with fitted wardrobes and direct access into the conservatory, which enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden.
