Set back from the lane in a peaceful village setting, this two-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a generous plot with mature hedging and an impressive orchard. The stone facade and pantile roof give immediate curb appeal, while the extensive gardens, meandering stream and summerhouse create a private, relaxing outdoor sanctuary ideal for gardening or quiet retirement living.
Inside, the accommodation is well-proportioned but in need of modernisation, offering a straightforward canvas for personalised improvement. A large loft space presents clear potential to add two bedrooms and a house bathroom, subject to planning permission and building regulations — a way to significantly increase living space and future resale value.
Practical features include ample off-street parking, a single garage and double glazing fitted after 2002. Note the property currently relies on electric room heaters (no mains gas) and will need renovation work to modern standards. Council tax is above average for the area, and broadband speeds are reported as average.
This home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, rural-feel property with room to create more space and add value — particularly downsizers or those wanting a finished garden without heavy landscaping work. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and character of both the house and its exceptional outside space.
