Set back from Mill Lane in semi-rural Ashley, this substantial detached bungalow offers generous single-floor living with significant additional loft space and a large outbuilding. The property's heart is a 600sqft open-plan living room and dining kitchen with bi-fold doors, cast-iron stove and a fitted shaker-style kitchen around an island — ideal for family life and entertaining. Two double bedrooms and two shower rooms are arranged on the ground floor, plus useful utility, pantry and boot room spaces.
Upstairs are three large loft rooms accessed from a rear-hall landing study. These rooms add considerable floor area and flexible potential, but must be noted: converting them to formal bedrooms would require building-regulation sign-off and possibly retrospective planning. The tiered garden plot rises from patio and pergola areas to mature, tree-lined boundaries with a substantial outbuilding currently used as a guest suite.
Practical strengths include extensive off-street parking, double glazing, an air-source heat pump and an insulated cavity wall construction. The property sits on a large plot and offers scope for modernising or adapting the accommodation to suit growing families or multi-generational use.
Material drawbacks are clear and important. The site is in a high flooding-risk area and local crime levels are reported as high. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average — factors to consider for remote working or heavy internet users. The loft rooms currently lack formal regulatory approval for use as bedrooms, and any conversion will involve additional cost and paperwork.
