3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

An individual, detached chalet-style bungalow offering extremely spacious and flexible accommodation including a loft space, which provides a separate studio / self-contained area, and set within mature and private gardens and grounds.

The property is located on one of the most desired roads of the highly sought- after village of Whittlesford, which boasts a highly regarded primary school and mainline train station. The property is set back from the road behind a picket fence and has ample off-road parking and a mature and private rear garden. The current owner has greatly improved the property over the years, most notably converting the loft room to a fabulous home office / self contained studio. This area has an independent external spiral staircase at the rear and has been successfully run as a five star Airbnb for several years now.

The accommodation comprises an entrance porch through to a large sitting room with feature open fireplace with an inset gas fire and an exposed timber beam. The kitchen / dining room is a bright and spacious triple-aspect room with French doors out to the terrace and the garden beyond. The kitchen area is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample working surfaces with an inset ceramic one and a half sink unit with a mixer tap and drainer, four-ring gas hob, double oven, extractor and space for a fridge-freezer plus a handy utility room, which houses the additional white goods and a wall-mounted, gas-fired central heating boiler.

Off the inner hallway are two good-sized bedrooms, a study/ bedroom 3 and a vaulted ceiling shower room with a walk-in shower. The loft conversion is divided into two areas both with vaulted ceilings and rooflights currently utilised as a bedroom with a generous bathroom / dining area, which further boasts a roll top, claw foot bath.

Outside, the front garden is laid to lawn with a generous gravelled driveway accommodating several vehicles. Secured gated side access leads to the rear garden, which is also laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders and beds and a generous paved patio with a part-covered pergola, which is ideal for alfresco dining or summer evening entertaining and a generous garden store.
