This detached four-bedroom bungalow sits on a large private plot in Forton, offering generous single-storey living with wrap-around gardens and extensive outbuildings. The house combines modern energy upgrades — owned solar panels, Tesla Powerwall, and an air source heat pump — with traditional, flexible accommodation arranged around a central hall. It will suit families or downsizers who want space, privacy and low running costs.
Accommodation is practical and well laid out: sitting room with garden access, refurbished kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating and island, separate dining room, four bedrooms, bathroom and shower room, plus utility, boiler room and plenty of storage. The garage and two substantial workshops provide excellent parking, hobby or storage options for boats, caravans or small business use.
The gardens are a principal selling point: private, largely lawned with mature and fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, greenhouse and patio areas. The broad driveway and garage give easy off-street parking and a dedicated car charging point supports electric vehicles. Solar panels (installed 2021) and the Tesla battery reduce exposure to electricity price rises, though export payments and savings depend on your energy supplier.
Important practical notes: the bungalow is in a remote hamlet setting with very slow broadband and average mobile signal, which may not suit heavy home-workers. Built in the mid-20th century, some buyers may wish to update cosmetic elements or confirm dates for double glazing and other installations. Council Tax Band D and mains utilities are confirmed.
