4 Bedroom Bungalow

A truly outstanding detached bungalow full of charm and character, occupying a generous plot with a double garage and driveway parking for several vehicles. Viewing strongly advised.

Built circa 1928, this individual detached bungalow is believed to have been constructed by the original owner and remains a truly distinctive home full of charm and character. Showcasing beautiful period features including stained glass windows and original tiled flooring, the property offers an immediate “wow factor” upon entry.

The current owners have meticulously maintained the home, which is beautifully presented throughout and enhanced by modern comforts including gas central heating and double glazing.

A covered entrance porch leads into a spacious reception porch with ample room for coats and shoes, featuring the original tiled floor and stained glass inner door opening into the impressive central hallway. Measuring approximately 23ft in length and nearly 8ft wide, this striking space immediately conveys a wonderful sense of proportion and character, again complemented by original tiled flooring. There is a useful understairs storage cupboard housing the boiler and stairs rising to the first floor.

All principal rooms lead from the hallway. The sitting room and dining room both enjoy feature double-glazed box bay windows and fireplaces, with the dining room providing access to a home office/study. A third reception room offers excellent versatility and could easily serve as a fourth bedroom if required, with double doors opening onto a modern side patio.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the impressive 20ft x 14’5 kitchen, offering ample space for a large dining table and ideal for family living and entertaining. A side door leads to a lobby/utility area, with further access to the gardens. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a contemporary shower room and separate WC.

To the first floor, a landing with feature stained glass window leads to three bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two are particularly spacious doubles, while the third bedroom is a generous single. A family bathroom completes the upper floor accommodation.

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot. A notable feature is the modern detached double garage with pitched roof, power and lighting. Measuring approximately 22ft in length, it provides space for two vehicles along with additional workshop/storage space to the rear and a personal door leading to the garden. To the front of the garage is a double-width brick-paved driveway providing further parking for several vehicles.

The grounds are arranged over different levels. To one side is a recently added large patio with retaining wall, directly accessible from one of the reception rooms, creating an ideal entertaining space. A summer house sits adjacent to the patio. The gardens extend to the rear and gently rise, from where some of the finest views across the town and surrounding countryside can be enjoyed.
