A large 4 bedroom detached bungalow set in grounds and paddocks of about 2.95 acres, adjacent to fields and greenbelt land, at the head of a long country lane, with planning permission for extension, and NO FORWARD CHAIN.

There is detailed planning permission (ref no: 3/20/1530/HOU), granted on 4th January 2021, to extend the property.

Traditionally constructed in 1969, the bungalow extends to over 2000 square feet, and has facing red brick elevations and a concrete tiled roof. It benefits from mains electricity and water, oil fired heating, UPVC double glazed windows and quality floor coverings, and is presented in excellent decorative condition throughout.

AGENTS’ NOTE: New septic tank and drainage system installed in August 2024 to comply with current regulations and mortgage lender requirements.

A conservatory entrance with a high gabled glass roof, a Fired Earth slate floor, and 2 pairs of double glazed sliding doors leads to the hall, which has an exposed brick wall feature. The impressive, dual aspect sitting room has an ornamental fireplace, and superb views over the gardens and adjacent fields. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, which also has superb views over the gardens, paddocks and farmland, comprises a range of modern work surfaces and units, fan oven, ceramic hob, extractor, space for white goods, and space for table and chairs. There is a utility room with worktops, base cupboards, a recently fitted, floor mounted oil fired boiler, and a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Bedroom 1 is a spacious double room overlooking the garden, with an en suite bath/shower room. The dual aspect second bedroom has views over the gardens and fields, and a built-in double wardrobe.

From the hall, a door gives access to an inner hall, off of which are bedrooms 3 and 4, and a shower room.

From the lane, a 5-bar gate in the post-and-rail fence leads to a stone driveway and turning area providing extensive off road parking. The large, detached garage has electric roller doors, lighting, power and a personal door. At the rear of the garage there is a useful store/workshop with door to outside.

The domestic curtilage extends to about half an acre and is largely laid to grass and enclosed by mixed hedges. There is a stream (a designated boundary between the domestic curtilage and the paddock), and a rectangular paddock which is enclosed by hedges and an established tree line, and has a 5-bar gate entrance from the lane.
