Description
The property is approached via a smart new tarmac driveway providing parking for several vehicles in addition to the integral garage with remote-controlled door. Inside, a wide entrance hall with archway and attractive wood-effect flooring creates a welcoming first impression, leading into a bright and spacious living room filled with natural light and centred around a working open fireplace. The dining kitchen is well planned, fitted with cream wood-effect units, metro-style tiles, an integrated dishwasher and space for both a range-style oven and American-style fridge freezer. Patio doors open directly into the dining room, while a separate utility room and ground floor WC add further convenience. A conservatory extends the living space and opens out to the rear garden.
The garden itself is a real highlight – private, well-screened and easy to maintain, with a south-facing timber deck perfect for sunbathing, a neat lawn, and a large timber shed for storage.
The bungalow offers four bedrooms in total, with the living and sleeping areas thoughtfully separated. The master suite is an excellent size with space for wardrobes and a private en suite bathroom with shower over bath. There are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, a generous single that could also accommodate a double bed, and a stylish family bathroom with modern white suite, wood-effect storage, and electric shower over the bath.
Spacious, versatile, and beautifully presented, this bungalow is ideal for families seeking village life as well as those downsizing who don’t want to compromise on space. With four bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, and a wonderfully private garden, 49 Penfold Way is a home that truly caters for modern living.
