Set back in a peaceful hamlet, this semi‑detached bungalow offers single‑storey living with wide countryside views — an attractive option for anyone looking to downsize without compromising on space. The property has been newly renovated and is presented in good order throughout, with double glazing and oil‑fired central heating providing immediate comfort.
Internally you’ll find a comfortable living/dining room, a modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Practical features include an attached single garage, a large gravel driveway for several cars and a generous rear garden that slopes away to open fields. Planning permission has been granted to create additional bedroom accommodation, so there is clear scope to increase living space or value.
The setting is rural and quiet (classified as remoter communities), so expect countryside tranquillity rather than urban convenience. Broadband speeds are fast and the area has average crime and mobile signal; local village amenities and good primary and secondary schools are within reach. The property is chain‑free and freehold, with affordable council tax.
A couple of practical points to note: heating is by oil boiler (private fuel supply), which can carry higher running and maintenance costs than mains gas. The home sits in a rural location, which suits privacy but means fewer immediate public transport options. Overall this bungalow offers an easy, well‑maintained base with scope for expansion and strong appeal for downsizers or those seeking low‑level, peaceful living.
