The Property
This extended bungalow has recently been the subject of extensive improvements and renovation for the present owner whose plans have now changed. If you are seeking a spacious, comfortable, light-filled home that is ready to move into, it will be well worth a visit.
Tucked away close to the village green in this popular village, it is reached down a private drive at the rear shared with only two other properties. West-facing, it overlooks a secluded mature garden on three sides with views beyond to open countryside. The generous plot includes parking for up to 6 cars, a garage plus a large store/workshop, garden shed and greenhouse.
Fully owned solar panels and solar water heater combined with enhanced insulation and double glazing increase energy efficiency and even provide a modest income from the 'Feed-in-Tariff'. Internally, the spacious accommodation is in immaculate order, freshly decorated and with new carpets almost everywhere.
No forward chain, and priced to sell!
