SUBSTANTIAL PLOT
A most appealing detached bungalow with a striking black and white external facade dating back from the 1920s. Set deep into its plot the bungalow occupies a broad frontage approached via a generous paved driveway with endless opportunities for parking and garaging.
This stunning single storey dwelling offers space and comfort in equal measure and great flexibility with three/four Bedrooms, two/three Reception Rooms and two Bathrooms. Over a short period of time the current owners have updated the home to include a modern new kitchen with quality appliances, installed replacement uPVC windows, added extra insulation and generally updated the interior throughout and viewing is highly recommended.
Principal features of the accommodation include a welcoming Reception/Dining Hall extending to 17'0 in length with a feature fireplace and the main family Lounge which is bright and airy and extends to 26'5 in length enjoying dual aspect views. A connecting door leads into the large Kitchen, recently installed in a navy blue and dove grey finish offering plenty of space and a host of built-in appliances.
A second sitting room at the front of the bungalow offers flexibility and would be equally suitable as an additional bedroom or dining space.
