A successful combination of traditional and modern, the bungalow was built in the 1930s and retains original and characterful features of the period, such as bay windows, a cast iron feature fireplace, a useful shelved pantry, attractive internal panel doors, picture rails and ceiling cornicing. It has however been modernised to make it warm and comfortable for everyday living, there are PVC windows (the outer wood grain effect finish coordinates well with the tones of the golden sandstone, the red tiled roof and the red brick detailing on the lower elevations) and gas fired central heating, a gas flame effect fire in the sitting room set into a smart stone fire surround, a modern fitted kitchen with white, high gloss cabinets and a well-appointed and stylish shower room. The accommodation has been further enhanced by the addition of a delightful conservatory on the rear elevation, it links in well with the ground floor layout having glazed double opening doors from the dining room/bedroom 2 and a door from the kitchen. It’s a flexible layout which provides either two or three bedrooms, depending on your requirements and whether you like to dine at a table (there is a fitted breakfast bar in the kitchen).  The well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises entrance vestibule, inner hall, breakfast kitchen, sitting room, conservatory, double bedroom 1, double bedroom 2/dining room, shower room. On the second floor is double bedroom 3.  The front elevation faces due west and the rear elevation therefore directly east. Both front and rear gardens are generously proportioned and well stocked with a variety of flowering shrubs and herbaceous plants to provide seasonal colour and interest. The back garden is a lovely, private and enclosed sun trap with the morning sun beaming into the conservatory and a smartly paved seating terrace at the far end providing an ideal setting for your outside furniture when relaxing or dining outside. The back lawn is laid with artificial grass to reduce your time mowing. To the front, as the bungalow is set back off the road and down slightly from street level, it looks out across the front lawn to a charming rockery, well stocked with shrubs and plants, this shields the property from passing traffic and pedestrians and provides a very attractive outlook from the sitting room, main bedroom and flagged seating area which has been created along the front elevation, this in itself is a lovely feature and the perfect place for a bench as it will enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine and be a great place to watch the world go by.  There’s a single garage which has an electric up and over garage door, power, light and a side personal door. Attached to the rear is a small outhouse and tucked behind this, out of sight is a useful area for storing pots, compost and the like.
