This detached three-bedroom bungalow has been comprehensively refurbished to a contemporary standard, creating a bright, easy-to-live family home. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is the heart of the house, with two sets of patio doors providing strong natural light and direct access to front and rear gardens for effortless indoor‑outdoor living. A fitted shaker-style kitchen, island, integrated appliances and modern lighting give the space a fresh, usable finish.
Accommodation suits family life: a master bedroom with walk-in closet, a second double with built-in wardrobes and a practical single bedroom useful as a child’s room or home office. A newly installed bathroom with separate double shower plus a separate W/C and utility room add convenience. The rear garage and utility access increase flexibility for storage and practical needs.
Externally the property sits on a large plot with a lawned front garden, patio and secure rear parking for multiple vehicles. The location in comfortable suburbia offers good local schools, parks and easy A1 access for commuting. There is no flood risk and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
Notable considerations are factual: the property sits in a higher-crime local area relative to national averages, the EPC is D and council tax is band E, and the house dates from the 1950s–1960s so some underlying services or elements may be original despite recent refurbishment. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. These are practical points to inspect or clarify at viewing.
