Description
This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a bungalow within easy walking distance of Bewdley town centre and wonderful neighbouring countryside, a rarity indeed. The property is situated on a fantastic plot of around one quarter of an acre, with delightful views across the valley from the front and top of the rear garden.

Once through the front door one is greeted by a spacious hallway with room for hanging coats, loft hatch accessing the roof and doors leading to the living accommodation and bedrooms.

Comprising matching wall and base units, work surfaces with inset ceramic sink drainer, electric hob with extractor above, built-in electric oven/grill and space for additional appliances including a fridge, washing machine and dishwasher.
