5 bedroom bungalow for sale

Tucked away on a peaceful leafy turning with very little passing traffic, this detached 5 bedroom bungalow offers versatile accommodation, together with a self-contained annex and a detached double-length garage. The property enjoys a plot of 0.4 acres and a rarely available Oaklands setting close to woodland walks, combining privacy and tranquillity with easy access to local amenities and excellent transport links.

The main home is centred around a welcoming entrance hall, leading to the kitchen, opening to the 21ft dual-aspect lounge with glazed doors opening onto the rear garden and filled with natural light. Three bedrooms include a principal suite with en-suite bathroom and an adaptable third bedroom that could equally serve as a study. A modern family shower room completes this section of the home.

The annex, accessed directly from the main entrance hall, makes up around a third of the total accommodation. With its own internal hallway, the annex provides a fully independent living space comprising a fitted kitchen, utility room (space and plumbing for washer and dryer), bathroom, and two further bedrooms – one currently used as a home office – together with a flexible study/storage room. This layout is ideal for multi-generational living, professional use, or welcoming guests.

Outside, the mature plot offers both privacy and potential, with generous gardens and a detached double-length garage providing secure parking, workshop space or potential scope for conversion into further accommodation (STP). Buyers will also recognise the opportunity to extend, remodel or even redevelop the property (subject to planning), creating a bespoke home in one of Oaklands’ most desirable and tucked-away settings.
