Description
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.

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.
