Description

68 Buchanan Gardens is a detached bungalow with harled walls and a tiled roof which dates from the 1980s. It has a sun room to the north and full height sliding windows in the sitting room to the south which gives the house excellent levels of natural light.

The tree-lined private drive leads past two other houses to a paved parking area to the north of the house. The accommodation is accessed through the sun room to the north or by following a path around to the door to the hall to the south.

The sun room has a panelled ceiling and gives access to the kitchen which has wooden units, a Bosch hob and extractor, two Neff ovens, a 1 ½ sink, and Hotpoint fridge.

The hall has a front door with glazed side panel to the garden. The large sitting room has sliding windows to the garden and a gas, coal effect fire with stone surround.

There is a cupboard off the hall with the central heating boiler and a hot water cylinder. The bedroom corridor has four rooms off, one of which has been used as a dining room but could be a potential fourth bedroom. The panelled family bathroom has a bath with electric shower. All three bedrooms have built in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room.

Adjoining the house is a garage which has three windows and under eaves storage.

There is a paved patio along the front of the house with raised beds and shrubs. This overlooks an extensive lawn and there are beech trees in the corner.
