In the last 9 years our vendors have transformed a tired and dated property into a superb modern day home, with little expense spared.

This is most definitely a home that you could ‘move straight in’, where personal choice in décor would be your only liking. With such a large plot it does have the potential for extensions, perhaps a garden room, and with bedrooms split to the east and west wing of the home it can provide more private accommodation for guests, easily lends itself for multigenerational living or even generating income via Airbnb.

ACCOMMODATION
Being hidden from the road by a high hedge it is only once standing in the driveway that you appreciate how large this home is. Internally the bungalow offers approximately 2,382 sq ft of living accommodation

On entering there is a spacious entrance hall, which is bright and filled with natural light, as is the rest of the home. Partly for jovial reasons we refer to the east and the west wing of the home, divided by the capacious kitchen/diner.

The main entrance hall leads initially to the east wing with three bedrooms, including the principle bedroom with walk in dressing room, bathroom and shower room, plus to the main sitting room.

The sitting room has been transformed into a light and airy space with large high quality sliding patio doors to two sides which not only bring in the natural light but help to bring the outside in. Overlooking the garden and perfect when entertaining and garden parties in the summer months. With such a glorious view across the gardens at any time of the day you’re able to sit and watch an abundance of wild life including birds and the occasional deer.

To the centre of the home is the incredible and capacious kitchen/diner. Completely remodeled from the original home with a selection of cupboards and storage and almost central island. Great space for any large family dinners or simply everyday use for two. Space for a large fridge/freezer, plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. To the back of the kitchen again you have uninterrupted views over the garden.

To the left corner of the kitchen you enter the west wing. This has a shower room, family room/playroom/office or annexe lounge and two bedrooms, with interlinking doors. This wing could provide the annexe accommodation or Airbnb.and has its own door to the front driveway,

ANNEXE POTENTIAL
Although providing two bedrooms, a shower room and living room to the west wing incorporating either the whole or part of the triple garage would increase the living accommodation, to possibly include a kitchen/diner and/or bathroom. Subject to planning.

EXTERNALLY
There is a sweeping carriage driveway which provides ample off road parking and access to the triple garage. The south and south/west side and rear gardens back and side onto open countryside with uninterrupted views over farmland.
The large rear garden lends itself to a variety of uses. Growing fruit and vegetables, perhaps keeping chickens or a pond with ducks, even the possibility of keeping goats. It really is currently a blank canvass. As is, it is perfect for a growing family for the children to run and play.
