Property Details

Property Insight:

Although in need of complete renovation, it’s easy to see the potential in this sizeable bungalow. As you step inside, the property’s generous proportions are immediately apparent. The large entrance hall has been previously opened up into a versatile space which is currently being used as a study. The living quarters span the rear of the property, making the most of the westerly aspect and garden views.

Leading off from a parqueted hallway is a spacious, dual aspect sitting room. Measuring a generous 21ft in length, the room is flooded with natural light thanks to its large bay window and patio door, which leads to the garden beyond. A marble fireplace provides an elegant focal point and there is plenty of space for furniture.

The sitting room leads through to the dining room. This is another bright and well-proportioned room with ample room for a table and chairs plus a handy hatch through to the adjacent kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with traditional wooden cabinetry, terracotta wall tiles and neutral floor tiles. Integrated appliances include a double wall-mounted electric oven and gas hob, and there is space for a fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Next to the kitchen is a large utility room with outdoor access.

The bedrooms are all located at the front of the property. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double room with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The other two bedrooms are both double bedrooms, the larger of which is dual aspect and has been converted to a home-office space with a separate entrance. The family bathroom has marbled wall tiles and a modern white suite including a full-size bath with shower over.

Outside, the once-much-loved large, west-facing garden holds great potential and is bordered with mature trees and shrubs. The spacious patio area provides a fantastic setting for barbecues and summer gatherings, while the lawn provides a great space for children to play. To the front of the house is a large driveway with space for multiple vehicles.
