Substantial detached bungalow with spacious accommodation and good sized mature gardens with ample parking for two or three cars.
Entrance hall leads into a well proportioned sitting room which has the benefit of a wood burning stove making this a warm and welcoming space. Off the sitting room is a lovely conservatory which overlooks the garden and because there is heating can be used all the year round. It is also East and south facing so gets lots of sunshine through the day.
The kitchen/dining room has a range of cream wall and base units with integrated appliances and space which will accommodate a good sized dining table and chairs. There is also a useful utility which has space and plumbing for a washing machine.
There are three good sized double bedrooms, two which have built-in wardrobes and a modern white family bathroom which has the added benefit of a walk-in shower.
In addition the space which was once the garage has now been turned into an excellent storage area.
There are beautiful good sized gardens which wrap around the property, with mature trees and shrubs giving lots of privacy and an enjoyable outside space.
