2 bedroom detached bungalow

Description

The Churn, an individually-designed detached bungalow built by a local builder for his mother, is conveniently positioned in the heart of the sought-after Cotswold village of Bisley and occupies a prime position on a private road of only eight homes. One of only a few bungalows in the village of Bisley and rarely on the market, The Churn is an ideal home for someone looking to live in a friendly and active community, or for a property with excellent rental potential, as it has been a successful holiday let.

The Churn was refurbished in late 2022 to include a new gas boiler and radiators, rewiring and quality carpets, is fully double-glazed and, with curtains, blinds and white goods included, is ‘ready to move into’. The accommodation, which originally was three bedrooms but now reconfigured to two, includes a spacious entrance hall, a separate fitted kitchen, plus an open-plan configuration of the dining room and living room. The living room has triple aspects providing plenty of natural light. There are two bedrooms, a shower room and a further en-suite shower room. In addition, there is a triple-aspect conservatory.

Outside, there is private driveway parking for two cars in front of a detached garage. The garage has power, an electric roller door and eaves storage. The property is has wrap-around gardens which have been thoughtfully laid for easy, low maintenance with a rose garden, a gravelled garden by the conservatory and a walled courtyard, which enjoys the afternoon and evening sun.
