Owner's comments

"We viewed this bungalow 11 years ago and immediately fell in love with it. The views we have are amazing and there is abundance of wildlife. It’s just a 15 minute walk to the town centre but we feel we are living in the countryside. Since we moved in we have extended the kitchen to maximize the views and also modernized the shower room and en-suite. It is now time for us to downsize but will feel sad to move. We hope the new owners will love it here as much as we do."

Accommodation

Stepping through the front door, the welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone for the home, presenting a snug area to the left-hand side with a front-facing window and an attractive wood-burning stove, creating a warm and cosy focal point. This versatile space has historically been utilised as a fourth bedroom, offering excellent flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyle needs. The main sitting room provides a larger reception space, ideal for entertaining and family living, while the hallway opens into an inner hall where stairs rise to the first floor. An obscured side window allows natural light to flow through, enhancing the bright and airy feel of the home, and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard provides excellent practicality. Positioned to the rear of the property is a ground-floor double bedroom, enjoying exceptional countryside views and offering an ideal option for those seeking single-level living or families with young children. This bedroom is served by a stylish adjoining shower room, fitted with a WC, wash basin with vanity unit, chrome heated towel rail, and a walk-in shower with aqua panel surround, complemented by contemporary tiling.

The ground-floor accommodation also boasts a dining room, enhanced by a striking bay window that floods the space with natural light and flows seamlessly into the true heart of the home

the contemporary kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is superbly appointed with an extensive range of wall and base cupboards and drawers, generous work surface areas, and space for a large electric range cooker with five-ring gas hob and extractor canopy over. Further features include a one-and-a-half bowl ceramic sink and drainer positioned beneath a side-aspect window, along with space and plumbing for a dishwasher and American-style fridge freezer. To the rear of the kitchen is space for a breakfast table and chairs in front of double doors that look out over the garden and stunning countryside landscape. There is also a highly practical utility area which provides additional storage and worktop space, together with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A stable door offers access to a covered side patio area, ideal for everyday convenience, muddy boots and wet dogs.

Rising to the first floor, the landing provides access to two further bedrooms. The front-facing double bedroom benefits from excellent storage within the eaves, while the principal bedroom to the rear enjoys fabulous countryside views and additional eaves storage. This impressive room is further served by a stylish en-suite shower room, comprising WC, wash basin with vanity unit, electric heated towel rail, and a contemporary walk-in shower with tiled surround, complemented by a skylight set within the roof illuminating the space.

a highly practical feature, perfectly suited for muddy boots, wet dogs and everyday outdoor access. Leading out from double doors at the rear of the kitchen, a sociable paved patio adjoins the back of the home, creating an ideal seating and entertaining area which fully embraces the magnificent open countryside views. Beyond, a neat lawned section is enclosed by picket fencing and boundary fencing, forming a safe and secure environment for children and pets, together with two useful timber storage sheds. Stepping down towards the bottom of the garden, the space extends into a charming natural area featuring established shrubbery, small mature trees and a gentle stream, creating a delightful countryside setting, despite its edge of town location. The garden as a whole enjoys a high degree of privacy and seclusion, providing a superb outdoor environment for relaxation, family enjoyment and entertaining. As a bonus, a few steps lead down from the patio into a cellar, which acts a perfect, dry and deceptive storage space underneath the property itself.
