A sheltered front entrance opens into a bright and welcoming hallway, with neutral décor and fitted carpet creating a soft, inviting introduction to the home. The hall provides access to the principal rooms of the bungalow and includes useful cloak and storage cupboards.

The living room is a generous and light-filled space, arranged to the rear of the property with a large window framing views over the garden. A feature fireplace with timber surround and electric inset coal effect fire provides a central focal point, while the room offers ample space for comfortable seating and display furniture. This living area flows naturally into a dining space, which enjoys direct access onto the garden through French doors — ideal for family dining or entertaining in the warmer months.

The second bedroom is another good-sized double, also front-facing, with pleasant views across the cul-de-sac. The third bedroom, positioned to the side, is currently used as a snug but equally could serve as a single bedroom or study.

Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a modern suite comprising WC, wash basin and panelled bath, finished with part-tiled walls and a frosted window.

Walk Outside

To the rear, the garden is a particularly appealing feature. A paved patio extends directly from the house, offering a sheltered space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by well-stocked flower beds, mature shrubs and ornamental trees which provide both colour and privacy. The boundaries are well defined with fencing, making the garden secure and easy to manage.

Overall, the outside space is well balanced — practical at the front for parking and garaging, and private to the rear with an inviting garden that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
