Description

This beautifully presented three bedroom detached bungalow has been much extended, refurbished and remodelled in recent years by the current owners to now provide light, spacious and flexible living accommodation in a modern style. Particular mention must be made of the large principal bedroom suite with walk in dressing room and stunning en-suite bathroom, the spacious open plan Living Dining Kitchen with island unit, the spacious living room to the rear of the property with bi-folding doors stepping out to the wonderfully private courtyard garden as well as the outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining family and friends.
Located in a private, gated position on a no through road surrounded by open countryside whilst being ideally positioned for all major network links to the Northwest and beyond.
The property is approached through electronically operated wooden gates over a sweeping tarmacadam driveway, providing more than ample parking, leading to the front entrance with feature planting, retained by mature hedging and trees. In addition, there is a detached log cabin with light and power, ideal for additional storage, office or hobbies room. The rear gardens are a lovely feature of the property, being generous in proportions with a private, open aspect over open countryside. Laid to lawn in the main with a range of borders surrounding, all fully enclosed by timber fencing, established hedging and trees. A large patio space accessed from the rear rear of the property provides ideal opportunity for alfresco dining and enjoying the lovely aspect. There is a paddock available as highlighted within the images measuring approximately 1.5 acres via separate negotiation.
