3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

A recently modernised detached bungalow with a bright contemporary interior now offering 3 bedroom accommodation with ensuite shower to the main bedroom, family bathroom, hallway, glass roof conservatory and a superb open-plan refitted kitchen, dining area and lounge. Gas central heating system, recently renewed double-glazed windows and doors, solar panel assisted electricity, side by side parking and gardens with shed. 

The Property Believed to date back to around 1985, this detached bungalow has been greatly improved by the present owner and provides well presented, three-bedroom accommodation with a contemporary style. The original bungalow has brick-faced insulated cavity walls beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles and the rear roof slope has solar panels which are the subject of a roof leasing agreement.

The windows and external doors were renewed in 2021/22 with uPVC-framed, double-glazed windows and rear door in white and a composite part-glazed front door. Heating is provided by a gas combination boiler which is understood to be around 6 year old with an annual service.

In 2021, the improvement works were carried out to include conversion of the garage into a master bedroom with ensuite shower room, new fitted kitchen, open plan with the dining and living area, new floor coverings and the walls and ceilings were re-plastered. The bungalow now provides bright, modern accommodation and the three-bedroom layout affords versatility with a glass roof conservatory off the second bedroom - this could, therefore, be used as a snug, study or dining room as the purchaser may require.
