The Property The property is estimated to date back around 35-40 years and is of traditional brick-faced cavity wall construction beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The bungalow has been the subject of a meticulous improvement scheme and is now superbly presented. Heating is by a gas central heating system and the accommodation has double-glazed, low-maintenance uPVC-framed windows in white with complementary fascias and soffits. The kitchen and bathroom have both been tastefully refitted during the present owner's time at the property and an excellent long carport has been built at the side of the bungalow providing a spacious covered parking area with drive-through access to the garage. The rear garden enjoys a warm, sunny aspect, particularly during the afternoon and evening and is enclosed with a good size timber workshop/store to one side.
