Accommodation

The main living accommodation is nicely set towards the rear of the bungalow, maximising the southerly aspect and views of the private gardens. With lots of natural light, the lounge boasts an array of windows on two sides plus a glazed rear door connecting directly to the gardens. Double internal doors allow a semi open plan layout to the adjoining dining room which can also be accessed off the hall; a well-proportioned room, ideal for entertaining guests. Over the hall lies the breakfasting kitchen; enjoying a lovely garden aspect and currently fitted with a range of wall and base units. The adjoining utility room is a useful facility with a WC off and external door to/from the driveway.

The three restful double bedrooms all benefit from built in storage and outlooks over the gardens to the front; the master is served by an en-suite shower room which now offers opportunities for upgrading whilst bedrooms two and three lie close to the main family bathroom.

External

Extending around the bungalows on all sides, the gardens enjoy good privacy and offer lots of scope for gardening enthusiasts or those seeking to create a family friendly environment. The area to the front is well established with gravelled paths meandering their way through a selection of planted beds. To the rear a sunny paved patio can be accessed from the lounge, with steps extending to a large lawned area complete with garden pond, mature flower beds and a small wooded section to one corner. The open views from the rear take in the adjoining farmland which extends as far as the eye can see.
