Set on a large private plot in a quiet hamlet setting, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers flexible accommodation and outstanding outdoor amenities. The main house is arranged on a single level with a long conservatory overlooking the rear garden and a living room with a wood burner, while air conditioning provides year-round comfort.
A major selling point is the outdoor space: a mature, well-screened garden with composite decking, pergola, a large swim-spa / oversized hot tub, outdoor pizza oven and bar. The plot also includes a double garage, driveway parking and two additional outbuildings — one arranged as a self-contained annex with kitchenette and bathroom, useful for guests, extended family or potential rental income.
Built in the 1950s–60s, the property is solidly constructed but shows some trade-offs to be aware of. The external walls are likely uninsulated as originally built, the EPC on display is D, and the exact age of the double glazing is unknown. Broadband speeds are slow in this location. These factors mean investment in insulation, glazing or wiring might be needed to improve efficiency and comfort.
For families or multi-generational buyers seeking substantial outdoor leisure space and flexible living arrangements, this home offers immediate lifestyle appeal with clear potential for modernisation. The combination of annex, outbuildings and a large plot allows straightforward adaptation for home working, hobby use, or future extension subject to planning.
