What We Think at the Zoe Napier Group
It is extremely rare for bungalows of this nature to become available and with passed planning consent to increase the existing footprint to an impressive 2600 square feet, it really does offer a fantastic opportunity for the incoming buyer to put their own stamp on the property and tailor it to their needs and specification. The grounds are the icing on the cake, incredibly secluded and South facing, allow you to enjoy the sun all day in total privacy!
What the owner says
We have loved living here, it’s incredibly peaceful and we will dearly miss the fantastic country dog walks amongst the surrounding countryside. It’s been hugely convenient having the train station so close that offers and relatively painless commute into London but we have decided to move on and for convenience will offer the property chain free.

Internally the accommodation includes a good size entrance hall, sitting room, generous kitchen/ dining room with adjoining conservatory, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, further bedroom and a luxury family bathroom.
Externally the property comes to life and enjoys wonderfully, secluded South facing grounds of 0.2 acres and is surrounded by sumptuous, undulating countryside.
