Description
There’s something wonderfully unexpected about this bungalow, from the moment you step inside, it begins to unfold in layers, revealing a thoughtfully extended layout filled with character, warmth and beautifully crafted spaces. With a long driveway, car port parking and a stunning rear extension, this two-bedroom home offers far more space and personality than first impressions might suggest. Offered with no onward chain!
The property is approached via a pebbled frontage, with a generous driveway providing parking for up to three vehicles, one of which sits neatly behind a low gate beneath the car port. A useful external cupboard is positioned within the open porch, ideal for housing meters and providing additional storage before stepping inside.
Immediately ahead from the entrance hallway is a truly impressive extension reception room, entered through a striking bespoke hand-carved door. This is a remarkable space, rich in character and beautifully designed, with built-in shelving framing the entrance and continuing along the walls. A standout feature is the gas fireplace, set within a stunning natural stone flagstone surround, creating a wonderful focal point and anchoring the room. This space continues toward the rear of the property, where it connects seamlessly to a well-appointed utility room offering generous counter space, storage cupboards, a sink and direct access to the garden.
Back from the entrance hallway, the home opens into a sociable open plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen itself is fitted with modern units, a large breakfast bar and integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, oven and four-ring hob. Beyond the breakfast bar, the dining area enjoys sliding doors opening onto the garden, allowing natural light to fill the space and creating a lovely indoor-outdoor connection. This property also offers the added advantage of having a separate utility, providing greater convenience and flexibility.
From the dining area, a wide glazed doorway with glass panels either side leads into the main lounge. This is another bright and welcoming room, centred around a white brick feature fireplace that adds charm and warmth.
An inner hallway leads through to the sleeping accommodation, where there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. One benefits from a full wall of built-in wardrobes, while the accommodation is completed by a beautifully modern wet room, finished in a clean and contemporary style.
Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged for ease of use and enjoyment. Decking sits directly outside the dining area, while a paved section outside the utility offers another practical outdoor space. Artificial lawn provides a neat central area, bordered by a decorative wood chip flower bed, with a storage shed positioned neatly to the rear.
This is a home full of personality, where thoughtful extension work and character features combine to create something truly special — offering flexible living space and a layout that feels both welcoming and unique.
