PROPERTY
This charming property was built in the 1960s and has been a cherished home for many years. The entrance door opens into a generous hallway with 2 storage cupboards and plenty of space for coats and shoes. A door on the right hand side leads to the spacious sitting room which is a bright double aspect room with huge windows, carpeted flooring and an original fireplace that provides a nice focal point to the room. The dining room boast views out to church and could alternatively be used as a 3rd bedroom.
The kitchen offers plenty of cupboard space and is fitted with vinyl flooring and a range of shaker style wall and base units. A laminate worktop runs over with a stainless steel sink and drainer unit and tiled splash back. Free standing appliances include an electric cooker with 4 ring hob and an under counter fridge. A door leads out to a timber conservatory, which requires some repair but offers a pleasant spot to sit and enjoy the morning sunshine and also houses the washing machine and a freezer. A further door leads out to the wonderful garden.
The master bedroom is particularly spacious and boasts fitted cupboards and views over the back garden. Bedroom 2 is also located at the back of the property and is a good sized single room. The family bathroom and separate WC are accessed from the hallway and include a panelled bath, pedestal wash basin and low level W.C.
It is a good sized property as it is but for those looking to add space and value to this fantastic house there is plenty of extension potential (subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents). Many of the neighbouring bungalows have been extended at the rear and also upwards into generous 2 storey homes.
The property has mains gas central heating and the windows are predominantly double glazed.
OUTSIDE
The house is approached across a long driveway which provides off road parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached single garage. There is an attractive front garden mostly laid to lawn and interspersed with a selection of shrubs, flowering plants and neat hedging with a pathway leading to the entrance door.
The back garden is a real delight and is both secluded and generous in size. It is split into 2 main areas by a beautiful Box hedge. The formal garden is laid to lawn and features well stocked beds filled with a variety of herbaceous shrubs and specimen plants including Camellia, Acer and a very productive Apple Tree. To the immediate rear of the property is a patio providing an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining. The other section has been traditionally kept as a wild meadow with a variety of Fritillaries, Orchids and Primroses growing there. It is a good sized plot, which in total measures 0.24 acres.
