This distinctive four bedroom detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous corner plot within a sought after residential area.

The home has an inner hallway that is flanked by multiple storage cupboards and shelving. The hallway takes you to the other side of the accommodation where there are two further bedrooms. Bedroom Three has another bow window to the front elevation and Bedroom Four offers further flexibility and could equally be used as an office/study or hobby room if not required as a bedroom. Sandwiched between the two bedrooms is a shower room, one of the bungalows two bathrooms, with the other accessed via a sliding door, again off the breakfast area.
The final bedroom is Bedroom Two accessed via the main hall and is a dual aspect room with a bow window to the front and another to the rear.
An addition to the original bungalow is a garden room that runs the entire width of the property at the rear. It can be entered either via Bedroom One, as mentioned, and also via the kitchen. It has space and plumbing for a washing machine and French patio doors that open to the garden. It is a fantastic reception space and on the flat roof sits a number of solar panels that are owned outright and not leased.
Although the bungalow does require some updating it has been very well looked after and should someone want to reconfigure the home internally there are a variety of ways certain rooms could be enlarged if desired.
To the front of the home there is a walled frontage with a shingle garden ideal for standing potted plants and ornaments. At the rear is a low maintenance garden with a paved patio seating area and a further area of shingle. Steps lead up to a driveway which is accessed via a set of timber gates off The Tofts (a Cul-de-Sac off Horsewell Lane). This provides the bungalow with off-road parking and gives direct car access to a detached garage with remote operated roller door. Adjacent to the garage is another space which the previous owners used as a Summer House.
The possibilities for this highly individual bungalow are wide and varied. Already a spacious and desirable home with wide ranging appeal it could be made into a very unique and stylish home.
