Externally, the property continues to impress. There is a substantial double garage with a newly installed electric door, accessible both externally and via a personal internal door. The garage also houses the boiler, along with two batteries and an inverter serving the photovoltaic panels. In 2024, twelve photovoltaic panels were installed, enhancing the home’s energy efficiency and contributing towards reduced running costs.
The bungalow stands in an elevated position within beautifully maintained gardens. To the front there is an area laid to lawn, together with a large driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. The rear garden features a patio area with steps descending through the gently sloping lawn, bordered by mature trees and shrubs. A paved pathway leads to a brick built sun room or summerhouse, which enjoys far reaching countryside views and offers potential for use as a granny annexe, subject to the necessary consents.
In the far corner there is a productive vegetable patch together with a greenhouse. The side elevation is enclosed by walling and includes a pedestrian gate to the road, with established planting adding further character and privacy.
Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented bungalow in a desirable village setting, offering space, privacy and outstanding views in equal measure.
