Set on a large, private plot in desirable Orton Wistow, this four-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-storey living with generous reception space and gardens. The bright living room with vaulted ceiling and bay window creates a central family hub, while a separate dining room flows into a brick conservatory opening directly onto the paved patio — ideal for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. A double garage and wide driveway provide substantial off-road parking with gated side access into the rear garden.
The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite; three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom give flexible accommodation for family, guests or a home office. The wrap-around garden is largely low-maintenance with established planting, gravelled sections and lawned areas offering privacy and scope to personalise outdoor space.
Practical details are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (installation date not known), and fast broadband. The property was built in the 1980s, so some modernisation may appeal to buyers who want to add value or tailor finishes to current tastes. Prospective purchasers should arrange a survey and service checks, as utilities and measurements have not been tested.
Positioned within walking distance of Ferry Meadows, well-regarded primary and secondary schools, and local amenities, the bungalow suits families seeking spacious single-level living or downsizers wanting a generous plot in a quiet, affluent neighbourhood.
