The Property This individual detached bungalow is understood to date back to the 1980s and has brick-faced cavity walls beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles. The windows to the main accommodation are uPVC double-glazed with a secondary-glazed garage window.

The integral garage provides potential for conversion into additional accommodation within the existing structure if required, subject to obtaining planning/building regulation consent as may be necessary, and the original double-width block-paved driveway has been extended at the side to create an additional gravel parking space. In the last three years, the property has been significantly improved, re-arranged and extended, with a cavity wall rear wing having a pitched roof over, creating a second rear gable and providing a study/home office and store. A new condensing gas combination boiler was installed for the central heating system and new radiators as required.

The original kitchen and dining-hall have been combined to create a re-fitted, open plan kitchen, dining space and reception area with new flooring, lighting and a built-in modern range of units with island and integrated appliances.

The ensuite and family shower rooms have been fully refitted and re-tiled in contemporary themes, and the utility room has been enlarged internally. Bedrooms one and two now each have contemporary wardrobes fitted in a grey colour scheme with spotlighting.

The bungalow has been very well designed with segregated living and bedroom accommodation and the large, double-glazed windows afford some amazing views across the surrounding mature wooded areas to the rear and the mature gardens, taking in a splendid panorama to the south-east dominated by the spire of St. James' Church. The sun travels round the elevations from front, to side and then rear in the afternoon and evening.

Accommodation The main entrance is at the front of the property with a wide, recessed porch having quarry-tiled floor, wall lantern and white uPVC six-panel front door. This opens into a spacious open plan reception area and fitted dining kitchen with oak-effect laminated floor covering throughout and double-glazed patio doors onto the rear patio and garden beyond.

The kitchen area has been fitted with a range of units in pale grey, comprising base cupboards, integrated Neff dishwasher, drawer units with deep lower pan drawers, integral fridge/freezer, tall larder cupboard and a tall unit housing the mid-level Neff electric, fan-assisted double oven incorporating grill. The base units are partly positioned beneath a large central island unit and the granite work surfaces and up-stands are in contrasting black granite with sparkles and extending from the island unit to create a breakfast bar.

Set into the work surface is a Neff five-ring gas hob with a black glass splash-back featuring red chillies; above is a modern glazed and matt black cooker hood with twin spotlight downlighters. There is a sink unit set into the work surface with brushed chrome lever mixer tap and window above with roller blind, and from which there are some amazing views over the front garden towards St. James' Church. A wall cupboard unit is fitted on each side of this window.

There is a further wide window enjoying the same wonderful views in the dining area and the coved ceiling has LED downlighters and a mains-powered smoke alarm. By the main entrance, is a cloaks cupboard having coat rail, shelving and the electricity consumer unit. There are door chimes, two conventional radiators and a tall designer radiator. A wall bracket and aerial point with power sockets are in place for a wall-mounted TV.

The ceiling is coved and there are two wall light points, two double radiators, a light dimmer switch and both the window and patio door each have louvre blinds.

The oak-effect laminated floor covering extends through from the kitchen.

There is ample space for appliances such as an additional fridge, freezer, etc. And beneath the work surface, a twin recess provides space for a tumble dryer and space with plumbing for a washing machine. The Ideal gas combination central heating boiler is located here and there are internal windows to an integral store and to the study/home office. There are glazed and part-glazed (both double-glazed) doors on the rear and side elevations to outside. Lighting is by two strip lights and there is a radiator to one side. A connecting door gives access to the double garage.

The master bedroom is L-shaped and positioned at the front of the bungalow with a wide front window presenting beautiful views taking in St. James' Church spire. There is a further window on the side elevation and both windows have roller blinds.

A contemporary range of wardrobes has been fitted in matt grey with sliding doors, one having a mirrored door, and within are clothes rails, shelving and basket drawers, together with two ceiling spotlights over.

The recess of the room has a built-in, contrasting cream-coloured dressing table with eight drawers and a ceiling spotlight over. Heating is by a double radiator and there is a six-panel door opening into the re-fitted ensuite shower room.

The ensuite shower room has a marble-style, tiled floor and wall tiling, extending into a large easy-access shower with tiled seat and plinth shelf, wall grip, a thermostatic shower unit with handset on wall rail and a wide glazed screen.

In a contrasting darker marble style, there is a split-level, suspended vanity unit with two circular, plinth-mounted wash basins, each having tall, chrome pillar lever tap and adjacent, the suspended white, low-level WC has a tiled enclosure concealing the cistern and a Gerberit dual-flush control.

Above the vanity unit there is a three-door, mirror-fronted cabinet set into contrasting Metro-style wall tiling to full height and this extends into the reveal of the front window. Heating is by a matt silver, ladder-style radiator/towel rail and the ceiling has LED downlighters and an extractor fan.

Bedroom two is a double bedroom at the rear and has built-in wardrobes complementing those of the master bedroom in matt grey, with clothes hanging rails, shelving and basket drawers. There is a double radiator, coved ceiling with inset LED downlighters and windows to the side and rear, each with roller blind and providing lovely garden views.

Outside The gardens are an exceptional feature of the property and are principally laid to a large lawn at the front with hedges to the boundaries on two sides and a variety of established ornamental shrubs, flowering plants and bushes set into a border around the front gable wing and by the front entrance.

A block paved double width driveway provides forecourt parking and gives access to the double garage. An additional gravelled parking area has been formed by the driveway.

This area enjoys the late afternoon and evening sun in particular, though in the rear corner an angled arbour with rendered walls and cedar shingle roof catches the earlier sun, and has a brick-lined flagstone base, two raised beds and two up/downlighters.

A flagstone and block pathway leads across from the patio to the rear extension wing with flower border adjacent, outside tap and floodlight to the gable.
