AUCTION HOUSE welcome to the market this spacious two bedroom detached true bungalow, ideally positioned on the ever popular Golborn Avenue in Meir Heath, Stoke on Trent.
Approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles, the property enjoys a pleasant sense of privacy with its wrap around garden and driveway. A storm porch and entrance door to the front aspect lead you inside, where you are immediately welcomed into the kitchen diner. This well proportioned space is fitted with a good range of units and complementary work surfaces, along with a dedicated dining area perfectly suited for everyday dining while enjoying views to the front.
From here, a large dual aspect lounge sits to the front of the property, offering a bright and airy feel. The feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, creating a comfortable space to relax or entertain. Just off the lounge, the hallway leads you through to the remaining principal rooms of the bungalow.
There are two well sized bedrooms, both offering comfortable accommodation, along with a particularly handy fitted dressing area positioned off the hallway, complete with built in wardrobes for excellent storage. The accommodation is completed by a modern three piece shower room, featuring a double shower and a fitted vanity unit housing the sink, finished in a clean and contemporary style.
To the rear of the property, an expansive conservatory provides a wonderful additional living space, overlooking the beautifully landscaped garden. This private and peaceful area is ideal for enjoying the garden throughout the seasons, with the outdoor space wrapping around the property to enhance its secluded feel.
The bungalow has been well maintained and is well presented throughout, benefiting from gas central heating and upvc double glazing. There is also the added advantage of no upward chain, making this an attractive option for a smooth purchase.
Situated in a highly sought after location, Meir Heath is well connected to nearby towns and cities, with easy access to the M6 motorway and public transport links. The village also offers a range of local shops and amenities, making it a convenient and desirable place to live. Viewing is highly advised to fully appreciate the space, setting and location this lovely bungalow has to offer.
