A chance to purchase an individually designed detached bungalow offering spacious accommodation amounting to 2061 sq. ft. ( 192 sq. m) with four generously sized bedrooms, offered for sale with no onward chain and sitting in grounds extending to about a third of an acre. The property boasts a peaceful location, towards the end of a private drive and enjoys views over the river to the fields opposite. It is within easy reach of local facilities, which include doctor and dentist surgeries, pharmacy, public house, which serves food plus a Co-Op, hairdressers and fish and chip shop. The town centre, which benefits from a variety of supermarkets, including a Waitrose and mainline train station are a little further on. The property was built in 2000 and this is just the second time it has come to the market having been the much loved and enjoyed home for the last seventeen years. During this time it has been extremely well maintained and is presented to the market in excellent order. The bungalow benefits from a central vacuum system, air circulation arrangement and has wholly owned solar panels that produce an income tariff rate of 68.3p/Kwh.

This lovely bright home will lend itself to many potential buyers' needs - from those looking for a family home with plenty of internal and external space to those looking for a quieter life in their leisure years. It would also satisfy those looking to support a dependent relative as there is potential to create an annexe from the double garage. The property must be viewed to appreciate the flexibility of the accommodation as well as the layout and room size plus the tranquil location.
