3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

An attractive, individual, detached Gatehouse, transformed into a contemporary, turn-key, three-bedroom bungalow with a spacious open-plan fully fitted kitchen and living area, open through bifold French doors onto an enclosed rear garden with 2 parking spaces. Brand new kitchen units and appliances, new shower room, new gas central heating system and new double-glazing. For Sale with NO CHAIN. 

The Property The individual design of this superb modern home derives from its origins as the Period gate house to the Old Vicarage set back in the trees and also presently being marketed by this agency. Also known in recent times as Ann's Cottage this name may well relate to the improvements carried out under Queen Anne's Bounty, established to supplement the clergy in 1704. The original building has been extended and transformed by the current owners to provide a stylish modern interior with an efficient EPC rating following insulation, double glazed windows in green uPVC frames, low energy lighting and a brand-new gas central heating system.

The accommodation features a most impressive modern fitted kitchen with appliances and open to a spacious living and dining room with roof lanterns, window from floor level and bifold 3-panel wide French doors onto the garden, all flooding this area with natural light. The shower room is also ultra-modern, and Karndean oak style flooring is complemented by interior doors finished in oak. The garden at the rear is enclosed by fencing for privacy with a sandstone patio and a screen door in the rear fence leads to the parking space.  

NB – the property has been successfully let as a holiday home and the associated contents can be purchased by negotiation.
