2 Bed Detached House For Sale

This lovely detached bungalow enjoys fabulous views across town towards the countryside, and a super southerly facing rear garden. Well-presented in neutral tones, it's a rare chance to purchase a property in this sought after development within 500m of the town centre.

The Property - This bright, well-presented bungalow is set on the edge of a sought-after small development, its slightly elevated position providing fabulous views at the rear across the town towards the countryside. With modern, neutral decor it has some great "added extras" over and above other two bedroom bungalows. There's a versatile room at the rear of the garage currently used as a designated laundry / utility room but equally suited as a workshop, lovely conservatory with insulated roof, and an en suite master bedroom (perfect for when you have visiting friends and family and need that second set of facilities).

To the front of the property is a useful double glazed porch with space to hang coats and a further UPVC double glazed front door opening into the hall. A useful built-in cupboard includes shelving. There's also a built-in airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and slatted shelving. To one side of the hall the sitting room lies at the front of the property and has a lovely woodburning stove as a nice focal point. This flows through into a dining area at the rear, with serving hatch to the kitchen and doors opening to a UPVC double glazed conservatory with replacement solid roof including insulation. This makes this a great all-year-round space to relax and enjoy the garden and wider views beyond.

The modern fitted kitchen also enjoys the views to the rear and includes a range of off-white units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and pull-out units with work surfaces over incorporating white ceramic one and a half bowl single drainer sink unit with mixer tap. There is space for an under counter appliance and further room for a fridge freezer.

The family bathroom is well-appointed with modern white suite including vanity wash hand basin, WC and P-shaped bath with glass shower screen and mains shower over, fully tiled with neutral tiling on the floor and walls and finished with a chrome dual-fuel ladder style towel radiator.

The master bedroom is located at the rear, enjoying the views over the garden and with a good range of fitted bedroom furniture including wardrobes and overhead storage. It benefits from its own adjoining en suite shower room with white suite, again with dual fuel towel radiator and neutral tiling. The second bedroom is a lovely double room perfect for guests, with a range of fitted bedroom furniture including wardrobes and overhead storage.

Outside - It's clear to see that the current vendors have enjoyed their garden and there's plenty for green fingered buyers to enjoy without there being too much to look after . The front of the property has pretty, well-stocked gardens and a driveway providing off road parking and access to the adjacent single garage with up and over door power and light. At the rear of the garage is an internal partition creating a designated laundry / utility room. This versatile space is currently fitted with storage units and worktop incorporating space for your washing machine and tumble dryer and a useful extra sink unit. It may equally suit those looking to convert the space to a workshop or home office.

The rear garden is attractively laid out with patio areas to make the most of the southerly aspect, well-stocked borders with perennials, shrubs and spring bulbs. There is a small ornamental pond to one side and a larger flower bed perfect for "growing your own". Behind the garage is a path leading to an aluminium greenhouse, and there is side access to the garden from both sides of the property if required. The garden to the west side of the bungalow includes raspberries, currants and a log store.

Situation - Highfield is a pleasant, small development tucked away to the north of the town centre, off Hill View Terrace. It is well away from busy traffic and enjoys an elevated position with pleasant views across the town towards the countryside in the south. A footpath at the end of the close takes you towards the town centre. It is also well placed for those who wish to join the local permitted footpaths into the Dillington Estate.
