Description

SOLD BY MEGAN BAKER ESTATE AGENTS - 280555/ We love Brighstone and it is hugely popular - so we have clients waiting to buy. Call us if you are thinking of selling.

This smartly presented detached bungalow provides a comfortable and appealing home. The UPVC double glazed accommodation is warmed by electric heating and is positioned in the popular village location. The cottage style kitchen is set at the rear of the bungalow, fitted with a beautiful range of warm cream units and leads open plan through to a super garden room. This triple aspect room is flooded with sunlight and provides a comfortable sitting and dining area with a pretty garden outlook. The comfortable front-facing lounge has a handsome multi fuel stove as the focal point. This leads through to bedroom two, a well proportioned bedroom with fitted wardrobes and its own luxurious en-suite shower room with generous corner enclosure. Bedroom one is a decadently large double room arranged over two levels with a dressing room style area with fitted wardrobes. A very useful study leads to pretty single bedroom three giving potential for two interconnecting children's rooms. A cleanly styled white bathroom completes the accommodation. The bungalow has parking to the front and a neatly lawned front garden. Side access leads to a large mainly lawned rear garden which has an array of shrubs and planting giving seasonal colour with a smart patio area which extends outside the garden room.
