We have pleasure in offering to the market this tastefully presented and reconfigured, detached bungalow, occupying a lovingly established plot within this popular and well placed village.

This single storey home offers a versatile level of accommodation which would be large enough to accommodate small families but, in the main, would probably appeal to those downsizing and looking for a modernised, versatile home laid out over one floor.

The accommodation comprises a generous L shaped entrance porch and central hallway which would be large enough to accommodate study area and leads through into a light and airy sitting room with large picture window to the front and large open doorway leading through into a spacious L shaped dining kitchen with French doors out into the garden which, combined, creates an excellent every day living/entertaining space. The kitchen has been reconfigured and updated with a contemporary range of units, having a generous level of preparation surfaces with integral breakfast and built in appliances. Off the central hallway is access to three bedrooms and a good sized shower room.

In addition the property benefits from UPVC double glazing, gas central heating with updated boiler and relatively neutral decoration.

As well as the accommodation the property occupies a pleasant established plot, set back from the road, offering a good level of off road parking and screened by established hedging with a central lawn and well stocked borders. The former garage has been part converted and still provides a useful store/workshop. A timber courtesy gate gives access into an attractive rear garden which has been landscaped for relatively low maintenance living having paved and gravelled seating areas, well stocked borders with established trees and shrubs and useful timber storage shed and log store which creates a pleasant outdoor space that links back into the living area of the kitchen.

Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
