Description

26 Fruitlands is a traditional single storey semi detached bungalow, originally constructed in the 1970's.  Over the past four years it has been the subject of an imaginative and thorough programme of refurbishment by the current owners who have spared no expense in transforming the property into a beautifully presented home with a comprehensive range of contemporary features.  Much of this investment has gone towards creating a highly energy efficient property with a new gas fired boiler serving replaced hi-tech radiators and electricity savings boosted by PV solar panels with battery.   As a result heating bills are kept to the bare minimum and the property has an all too rare EPC A rating.  New double glazed windows and doors have been installed as has underfloor heating in the bathroom.  
 
A considerable amount of the investment by the vendors has gone into replacing and reshaping the bathroom and kitchen, both of which are very well equipped.  Floor and wall coverings have also been upgraded and replaced. 
 
Outside the driveway can accommodate at least three vehicles and leads to a garage.  The finishing touches are the gardens which has also been reshaped and landscaped to provide colour and interest throughout the year, particularly in the spring and early summer months.

The current owners have spent a considerable amount of time creating a very natural garden that is sympathetic to wildlife and yet at the same time provides interest, colour and variety throughout the year, particularly in the late spring and early summer months.  To the front of the property the garden is laid to lawn with colourful herbaceous borders and shrubs.  To the rear a newly laid paved patio and seating area enclosed by low timber fencing enjoys a lovely west facing view of the hills.  Gravel steps and a gated entrance lead onto a paved pathway flanked by lawn, herbaceous and shrub borders and leading to a gravelled seating area at the far end of the garden.  There are numerous well established shrubs and climbers, one of which is supported by an arched trellis.  Boundaries are mainly fenced.  There is also a SUMMER HOUSE that is ideal as a craft room or for home working.  There is storage for bikes etc.
