Accommodation

The Rowans is a deceptive bungalow with more living space than meets the eye. The property does require some modernisation in parts but offers an incredible amount of potential, especially thanks to the fantastic grounds to the rear of the property.

The property is entered via the front door at the front of the house into a porch area which then follows into the inner hall which connects the main living rooms of the property. On the right hand side of the hall is the light and airy sitting room with its dual aspect, bay window to the front and the fireplace in the focal point of the room. The living room is large enough to also provide room for a dining table if desired.

To the rear of the house is the kitchen which has a range of fitted units with ample worktop space, an oil fired Rayburn and further appliances including an electric cooker with grill above, and hob. Off the kitchen is a rear door leading out to the parking, by which is a utility area where the oil fired boiler is situated and there's plumbing for a washing machine.

There are three double bedrooms, the largest of which is the master room which enjoys an en-suite shower room and built in wardrobe space. The guest bedroom also has built in wardrobe space and a bay window looking out over the front gardens.

The family bathroom requires some updating and currently has a bath, basin and w/c.

Outside

A driveway leads into the property from the village road and is secured by a timber gate. The drive leads round to a parking area at the back of the house by the single garage. Adjoining the single garage is a store and a timber shed which has been converted into kennels.

To the front and rear there are beautifully maintained gardens with deep flower and shrub borders and neatly mown lawns. The gardens enjoy a good mix of shady spots and sun traps. By the back garden is a fruit cage with raised beds within, as well as a further store that houses the oil tank.

A continuation of the driveway provides vehicular access to the paddocks at the rear. There are two smaller field areas, one of which housing several sheds, and two larger fields; perfect for grazing livestock.

At the end of this field is a small copse which comes to life in the early spring with flourishing bluebells and daffodils. In all, the gardens and grounds total approximately 2.08 acres.
