Extensively renovated in recent months, this detached two double-bedroom bungalow sits on a large corner plot in a tranquil village setting, overlooking meadows to the side. The reconfigured 19' dual-aspect kitchen/diner and a light-filled lounge with a log burner and bi-folding doors create a comfortable, contemporary ground-floor living arrangement ideal for downsizers seeking single-level convenience. A newly fitted bathroom and double glazing complete the internal upgrades.
Practical improvements include a brand-new sewage and drainage management system with certificated works, modern kitchen appliances and wooden flooring throughout. The front and rear gardens are private and unoverlooked, offering ready-to-use outdoor space and pleasant countryside views. Driveway parking for one vehicle is provided, with additional communal parking opposite the property.
Considerations: heating is oil-fired via a boiler and rads, and the house dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (insulation status assumed unaltered), which may mean future energy-efficiency work. There is a single family bathroom and limited on-plot parking. Local crime levels are reported above average for the area; prospective buyers should factor this into their decision.
The layout offers straightforward potential to extend, subject to planning permission, for those wanting to increase living space or add a downstairs bedroom. Overall, the property is best suited to buyers looking for a turn-key, single-storey home in a peaceful rural setting with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
