THE PROPERTY

Sitting on just over 5 acres in total with a long driveway leading to formal gardens, outbuildings, garage and a further garage/workshop.  Gently sloping land from the west and your first sight on the detached bungalow with its large conservatory to the front will make you excitingly curious. 

Within the bungalow which is accessed through the conservatory, through to a central dining room and then a central hallway.  From the dining room are two bedrooms (one of which could make a good study).  From the hallway is a spacious kitchen/diner, the main bedroom and a large living room. 

At the end of the hallway is a bathroom and a door out to the rear.

Internally the property requires updating and/or remodelling but the current footprint is more than adequate at approximately 113 sq metres (1222 sq feet).  There is huge potential (subject to planning permission) to extend the bungalow or redesign to an individual’s requirements.

GARDENS AND OUTSIDE

The formal gardens and paddock really do offer the best of both worlds.   Approached from a tarmac drive which sweeps around to the two garage buildings and parking for numerous vehicles.
