A highly unique opportunity to purchase a 2 double bedroom (main en-suite) detached bungalow with stunning views of the surrounding grounds of Kenwith Castle. Available no onward chain.
Built by Chichester Homes a reputable local builder in 2007, Number 26 is located in its own corner plot with parking opposite. With a larger than usual lounge with floor to celling windows that create a light and inviting spot to enjoy watching the world go by.
Contract papers have been negotiated to include a 999 year lease. Age restriction: At least 1 occupant has to be aged 65 years or over.
Stepping inside you have a large entrance hall with underfloor heating through most of the ground floor. Off to the left you have the large wrap around lounge which then flows nicely into the kitchen dining room. An innovative design which creates a social open plan living space but also allows you to enclose the kitchen if needed.
The kitchen itself has a range of built in storage cupboards, plenty of preparation space and integral appliances. A perfect spot for those of you that enjoy hosting or having family around.
The dining area has double doors that lead rather nicely onto the decked area with new railings. Being located at the far corner of the grounds you have a private position on the development with views down towards the lake.
Both bedrooms are double in size, the principal bedroom is a particularly good-sized room with its own en-suite bathroom and built in storage. The second bedroom, again a double, would make a perfect room for guests.
The wet room is fully accessible and equipped with a modern white suite with a large cupboard space that has enough room and plumbing for stacked white goods making a handy utility area.
