The property
Tenure: Freehold
EPC Rating: Awaited ** Council Tax Band: D ** Rear Garden Orientation: South
Located on a superb plot, this substantial detached bungalow will impress viewers of all ages seeking a long-term move. The property was bespoke built to suit the needs of the original owner and therefore is much larger that most local bungalows in having three genuine double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, as well as all the other features you’d desire.
Upon approach, viewers will discover the bungalow set away from Littleworth Road behind a deep driveway that has off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The driveway is accessed by gates with an accompanying brick wall to the boundaries. Furthermore, to the side of the bungalow is a newly refurbished carport that stretches the full length of the building, all the way to the garage at the rear (more on this below). Viewers will begin their visit by entering through the main front door via a storm porch at the front of the house.
Interior
The long hallway that guests arrive in is extremely welcoming. It features wooden panelling to the walls with feature lighting and tiled flooring. From the hallway there are doors leading off to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom, lounge, and kitchen. The first three doors are for the bedrooms, the master of which being positioned at the front right of the building. Eagle-eyed viewers will have spotted that the right side of the bungalow protrudes forward at the front, meaning that this bedroom is particularly generous. Although there are fitted wardrobes in all three bedrooms, the wardrobes in the master bedroom have been designed around the whole room, incorporating drawer units, to create a complete suite that still leaves a lot of space in the centre of the room. A lovely, bowed window to the front allows plenty of natural light.
The second bedroom, also at the front, features a raised bay window along with a set of sliding-door wardrobes. The third bedroom (not pictured) is the smallest but still fabulous double room that again features a sliding-door wardrobe and has a window to the side. It’s worth mentioning at this point that the windows are all double glazed. Opposite bedroom three is the family bathroom. This complete suite features a bathtub, separate large, curved shower cubicle, toilet, bidet, wash basin and towel rail. All of this is complemented with tiling to the floor and walls with wet room flooring around the shower cubicle. There is also a handy built-in storage cupboard positioned at the bottom of the bath.
The large kitchen is next up, and this features a modern cream-coloured suite with wood-effect roll-top work surfaces that is fitted to the rear two thirds of the room, allowing for a breakfast area at the front of the room. Due to the size of the room, the suite has an abundance of storage units and work surface space and includes space for a range oven. An exit door to the rear leads out to the patio, however at the front of the room there is an opening through to further space for a pantry and laundry room, as well as having a storage cupboard. The far end of this room (the laundry) includes plumbing for a washing machine and houses the gas central heating combi-boiler, which is regularly serviced. Above this area is a pull-down hatch with ladder to access a vast loft that is thickly insulated and includes boarding to allow for plenty of storage.
Perhaps the most impressive room in the house is the remarkable L-shaped lounge. This incredible reception room can easily hold a large sofa suite and family dining table with plenty of room to spare. The chimney breast with feature gas fireplace is at the far left of the room and viewers will also note real wood flooring underfoot. Immediately of notice, past the lounge, is the set of French doors that lead into the final room in the bungalow, the conservatory. Offering an alternative spot for seating, the conservatory offers a delightful view over the south facing rear garden making this the ideal spot for a morning coffee or to relax with a book. To the right-side of the conservatory is another handy storage cupboard. To the left is a large sliding door leading out to the patio.
Outside
This glorious, south-facing rear garden is landscaped on three levels to make the most of the space and allows for families to relax and entertain with numerous options. It begins with a slabbed patio that has room for a small table and chair set before steps lead down to the middle level of the garden that is much wider and has an artificial turf layer on top of the slabbing, as well as a balcony looking over the largest part of the garden at the bottom.
This bottom section has all the feel of a classic walled garden with walls to the left and rear, with wooden fencing to the right side, that keep this lovely and private. A rectangular path frames the lawn and has a range of attractive plants and shrubs to the outer borders as well as a couple within the lawn.
The garage beside the patio has been converted by the current owners to become a fully insulated hobby room / office. The original garage doors are still in place should the new owner decide to revert to a garage.
