Approaching the property there is a private driveway with ample parking for a number of vehicles, leading to a single garage and the front entrance, with private lawn garden with hedge and mature trees surrounding. Entering the property, there is a porch way into the hall with access to all rooms. Bedroom one and two offer good sized doubles with build in storage space, as well as bedroom one benefitting from an en-suite shower room. Bedroom three has been re designed by the present owner for use as an integral workshop space, but still offers ample room for a double bedroom if preferred. There is a further family bathroom with wash basin and also a separate w.c. The hall way also provides rear door access into the single garage. Across the rear of the property is the main living accommodation, with a large Lounge, open plan arch through to the dining area and further doorway leading into the kitchen. This spacious open plan area offers a great social or family area for all owners with a doorway to the rear garden from the dining room, and further side access from the kitchen. The kitchen offers a range of wall and base units with work surface over and a selection of freestanding appliance space. At the rear of the property is a large lawn garden enclosed by fenced sides and a hedged rear with mature trees planted in the boarder. There are a couple of small storage sheds and a patio area wrapping round the rear of the bungalow. The property itself has been cared for, for many years by the owners but does now require modernisation/renovation throughout.
