A modern wall mounted electric fire provides a focal point and there are atmospheric wall lights. The main bedroom also looks out to the front garden towards Mill Lane and is lovely and light, there are three fitted double wardrobes. The second bedroom is also a double in size and looks south to the rear garden. The wet room has a sealed floor, shower boarding to walls and a vinyl clad ceiling, all purposefully easy to look after. The shower area has a wall mounted seat, there’s a vanity unit and loo. Both windows have obscured glass for privacy. The modern kitchen has room for a small table and with a dual aspect, it’s a bright room. Base and wall units provide good storage including two pull out larder shelving units. Included in the sale are an integral Stoves electric oven and grill, Lamona four ring gas hob with a fan over, Beko tumble drier (with external vent) and a Bosch washing machine. A part glazed door opens to the conservatory. This is a delightful south facing addition, there are three walls of windows set above solid walls with good views to the rear garden and a door to outside. The central heating extends into here enabling use throughout the year, with space for both relaxed and dining seating it is a versatile space.

Wrought iron gates open to the driveway which leads down the side of the bungalow to the detached garage. Currently a wooden ramp provides access to the front door; this has been left in place in the event that new owners would find it of assistance but if not required, the vendors will happily arrange removal. The front garden has been landscaped to be low maintenance and features a central stone focal point set into gravel with a side paved area for seating and raised beds around the edges all with well-established and colourful planting. Gated from either side, the back garden is approached down a short set of steps and offers a variety of colourful flowering shrubs including hydrangeas and roses which provide seasonal interest and structure. A seating area offers room for outdoor furniture and a combined shed/greenhouse offers practical storage and a place to potter.

To all intents and purposes, the bungalow is ready for immediate occupation, it has been upgraded over the years with addition of the conservatory (in around 2000), renewed roof covering (around 2014), a new wet room to replace the bathroom, installation of PVC double glazed windows and gas fired central heating. Attractively presented, there is coving to the ceilings in the hall, sitting room, kitchen and both bedrooms, white painted panelled internal doors and all floor coverings are either laminate, vinyl or tiled. However, there remain further opportunities for extension and enhancement. The loft has access via a hatch in the hallway, the pull down ladder opens to a roof space with good head height and opportunities for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
