INTRODUCTION
Byfields is a wonderful detached bungalow situated in the pretty hamlet of Westerland, just on the very edge of Marldon. Built in 1976, the property occupies an elevated position with fabulous views and a generous size plot. The property is accessed via a private driveway that leads up to the bungalow.
This is certainly a very deceptive dwelling with accommodation that really can can suit a variety of needs. Currently, the property is divided into two. The main part offers three bedrooms, two reception rooms, two shower rooms, a conservatory with views and there is a separate annex or office to the rear providing two bedrooms, kitchen, a large reception room and another conservatory. Clearly, there is scope, should one wish, to reconfigure the layout to provide one fabulous, large family home with further potential (subject to planning permission).
Byfields occupies a generous plot of around 0.50 acre. The mature gardens that surround the property are easy to maintain with attractive patio areas surrounded by colourful borders. There is also an outdoor swimming pool with timber chalet providing a covered dining or entertaining area. The driveway to the front of the property provides parking for numerous cars and this leads up to an attached double garage.
STEP INSIDE
Byfields provides light, spacious and highly adaptable living. From the entrance hallway there is access to a large living room, kitchen leading through to a dining room and conservatory. Due to its elevated position, the living room and conservatory room afford fine views across the picturesque surrounding countryside. There are three bedrooms in this section of the property with the master bedroom providing a dressing room and en-suite facilities and there is a separate family shower room and utility.
The self contained annex or office provides an extremely useful living or work space. Currently, there are two double bedrooms, a modern bespoke kitchen, living room, modern three piece bathroom suite and second conservatory with doors leading out to a private area of garden. As previously mentioned, there is further scope to re-model the accommodation into one 'Grand Designs' style home should one wish and subject to planning.
STEP OUTSIDE
Byfields provides an attractive, easy to maintain garden with some wonderful views to the front of the bungalow over rolling countryside. Throughout the garden, there are attractive patios, colourful borders and a swimming pool located to the rear of the dwelling. The pool area and paved terrace provides an ideal al-fresco dining area and there is a timber constructed outbuilding to the side of the pool. Accessed from a private driveway, there is ample parking for numerous cars and a double garage.
