Set in an enviable beckside spot near Lanchester village centre, this extended detached bungalow occupies a generous corner plot with beautifully landscaped gardens and woodland borders. The single-storey accommodation has been thoughtfully modernised and extended to create a bright, open-plan kitchen/dining/living hub with an atrium-style seating area and bi-fold doors that frame the peaceful outlook.
Internally there are three double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms, a contemporary family bathroom and a cosy lounge with feature fireplace leading to a front sunroom. The lower-ground basement provides versatile storage or hobby space, while a converted former garage offers a dedicated heated home office with power and lighting. Off-street parking for four to five cars and double glazing are practical additions.
The plot is a standout: expansive lawns, mature shrubs, hedgerows and a meandering beck create privacy and a strong countryside feel just a short walk from local shops, cafés and amenities. The property is freehold and chain free, making it straightforward to progress for a family seeking space on one level with extra flexible areas.
Practical points to note: the home dates from the mid-20th century and cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so there may be scope for energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. The basement rooms add useful scope but may need adaptation depending on intended use.
