4 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Description

Southmead is a deceptively large detached family sized bungalow that has been thoroughly renovated to a high standard by the current owners. The property occupies a good-sized mature plot backing onto fields located in the peaceful and unspoilt rural village of Upper Minety. The spacious and light accommodation is arranged over two floors incorporating an attic conversion. The ground floor has been reconfigured to flow from room to room comprising an impressive fashionable open plan kitchen to the dining room and continuing to the living room with a wood burner. There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor and a family bathroom with separate shower and bath. The principal bedroom is located on the first floor with en-suite, a study area off the landing and a large attic for storage. 

Planning permission (PL/2023/07528) has been newly granted for a 2-storey extension to substantially enlarge the property and fully redevelop the bungalow into a 5 bedroom dormer windowed house. Additionally, there was previous planning permission (now laspsed) to construct a timber framed garage.

A timber gate opens to the large gravelled driveway providing generous private parking for numerous vehicles. To the rear of the property there is a large, attractive garden mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and a delightful garden room to enjoy.
