Nestled in an enviably large plot that generates a host of possibilities, this detached bungalow retains many of the architectural traits that lovers of mid-century modernism will cherish. Chain free and well-presented, its current layout gives equal chance to be either updated or extended into a contemporary family home (STNC).
Tucked back from the leafy environs of Knoll Road behind a substantial front garden and broad brick paved driveway, the canopied doorway of its double fronted facade welcomes you into a central hallway where a beautiful parquet floor lends a rich contrast to white walls. Its wide herringbone patterns lead the way through a hugely versatile layout that has plenty of scope to be reconfigured and tailored to perfectly suit your own lifestyle needs.
Stretching out over the full depth of the bungalow, a triple aspect open plan space is filled with light. Subtly delineated, its reception and dining rooms combine to produce a wealth of space for modern family life. A classic expanse of windows in the double aspect reception room looks out onto the idyllic backdrop of a statuesque old oak tree in the notably private front garden, while to the rear white doors in the large dining room tempt you out into the garden.
Accessed directly from either the open plan living space or the hallway, a charming kitchen is fully fitted with the classic design of mid-century cabinets and timber effect countertops. Its current u-shaped layout includes an integrated oven and separate grill, it also has space for freestanding appliances. Generously sized to accommodate a breakfast table, its wide windows look out onto the colour and greenery of the gardens via an adjoining conservatory/utility area. Whether you decide to keep the existing layout or open up these two spaces, it’s easy to see that the conservatory could be a favoured place to sit and admire your surroundings.
Explore further and you’ll find an inner hallway with fitted storage and a shower room in need of updating. It connects to an impressively spacious triple aspect main bedroom that sits peacefully away from the main accommodation. Together with a considerably sized en suite bathroom and its own door to the garden, this is a room that has plenty of potential to become an exceptional space.
Three additional bedrooms sit to other end of the bungalow and share a family bathroom with a separate WC/cloakroom. Each one is light and bright, and whilst each of the two double bedrooms has fitted wardrobes, the hallway cupboards supply additional storage.
Outside
When you step out from the main bedroom, dining room or conservatory you’ll find a lovingly kept and created garden where fully stocked flowerbeds of mature shrubs wrap-around an extensive lawn and a paved patio generates every excuse to enjoy al fresco dining or a snooze in the summer sun.
The colours and foliage of the planting lend interest throughout the seasons, while the paving of the patio reaches across the entire width of the bungalow extending to a sunken, 7ft deep pool. We have been informed that all the pool's pipework is installed and does not have any leaks. However, the filter and pump have been removed so to have the pool back in full working order, a new pump/filter would need to be installed. Any interested party should make their own investigations prior to any commitment.
At the front of the property a substantial lawn bordered by high hedgerows has the focal point of a statuesque Oak tree (with TPO) and together with a broad brick paved driveway gives a prized level of privacy. The driveway combines with an detached garage to provide the added convenience of private off-road parking to several vehicles.
