A farmhouse style fitted kitchen with an oil fired Stanley which heats the hot water and radiators in addition to the roof mounted solar. From the kitchen the Living Room is accessed where there is a newly installed log burner. The living room leads into the corridor which connects the family bathroom, benefiting from a free standing roll top bath and a separate W/C and utility room. From the corridor, the Dining Room is located at the front of the house and features an open fireplace and surround. There are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all accessed from the central corridor. The loft conversion is currently reliant on a ’drop down ladder’, which could be improved (STP) to allow for an efficient use of the loft space.
The bungalow benefits from uPVC double glazed windows throughout. Solar panels (photovoltaic and heat tubes) on the bungalow roof which is reported to significantly reduces the electricity and oil usage throughout the year. To the front of the bungalow is a wonderfully situated veranda with timber awning above.
The detached workshop / garage was formally utilised as two separate garages, however the current owner has converted this space into ‘Oyster Mushroom’ growing rooms, which are insulated and arranged to efficiently cultivate and grow Oyster Mushrooms which are sold locally to restaurants and through food markets. The detached workshop/garage benefits from water and electricity connected, along with a ground floor W/C and various stores. The loft above has been renovated and could be used as additional accommodation or a children's play room, subject to obtaining the usual consents.
