## Description

James Anthony Estate Agents are pleased to present to the market this delightful extended two bedroom bungalow. The property benefits from front and rear gardens, two separate off road parking areas to the front and rear aspects, as well as a single garage with electric up and over garage door. The property has been extended to create a larger main bedroom and spacious kitchen/diner. A good sized living room and second bedroom can be found to the front aspect, and a walk in shower room. This property is certainly one not to be missed. Whilst presented in a well maintained condition, the property would benefit from updating and could be further extended and improved subject to planning consent.
