3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

With NO UPWARD CHAIN, this bungalow is located on a private road of just five homes and has been extended by an additional 20%. The programme of modernisation includes a new roof, new kitchen, new aluminium-framed windows and the creation of a breathtaking living area comprising a kitchen, dining area and lower and upper lounges, with a balcony off. These works were completed in November 2023. There is an integral double garage and parking on the driveway for 8+ vehicles comfortably (at one family gathering there were 20 vehicles parked!). The south-west facing garden is private and includes a two-tier dining patio, lawn and row of tall cypress trees.

Entering the home through the front door, the entrance hallway leads through to all other rooms. To the right is the aforementioned spectacular living space and a ground floor WC. Immediately in front is a double bedroom and, to the left, are two further double bedrooms and a boutique hotel-style shower room (upgraded 2024). Underneath the main home is the integral double garage together with a store room, additional storage in a large boiler room and another WC - useful for anyone playing or pottering in the garden.

Tansley is a lovely village on the southern edge of the Peak District, just two miles east of Matlock. The popular primary school is just a two minute walk away, the community hall and church (with cafe on Fridays) are popular meeting hubs and there are two welcoming pubs - our Bricks + Mortar team are regular diners at The Gate Inn.

From the village, there are fascinating countryside walks in all directions, including to Lumsdale waterfall and over to Ogston Reservoir. The Peak District and popular towns and villages of Matlock, Cromford, Crich, Ashover and more are all only a short drive away.

Front Of The Home - A shared driveway from Old Coach Road leads to the private parking area, which has space for 8+ vehicles to comfortably park on the Tarmac drive (there have been up to 20 vehicles parked here for a family gathering!). To the right of the driveway, beyond a laurel hedge is land behind which gently drops down to a stream. There is potential to landscape this area to add a flat seating area to enjoy this lovely natural scene.

Beside the parking area is a raised garden/seating area and direct access onto the long rectangular lawn and garden to the side of the home.

Looking up at the impressive home, the integral double garage has a wide remote-controlled door and a separate door to the adjacent store room. Around the side are doors into the WC and boiler room, with a wall-mounted EV charging point too.

A wide Tarmac path and four steps lead up to a patio area in front of the home - and a gravel path on the left leads to the side and rear of the home. A stone arch leads into the open porch with tiled floor and wall-mounted light. Enter the home through the part-glazed aluminium front door into the entrance hallway.

Entrance Hallway - The wide and spacious hallway has contemporary LVT flooring, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen, dining area and lounges. There is a slate grey radiator, high ceiling with recessed spotlights and plenty of space for storage units. Matching distinctive doors with chrome handles lead into the three bedrooms, bathroom, WC and a storage cupboard with water tank. Double part-glazed doors open to reveal the kitchen and astounding open plan living area.

Kitchen-Diner And Lower Lounge - 11.9 x 5.73 (39'0" x 18'9") - KITCHEN

Stepping through from the entrance hallway, this breathtaking room includes the kitchen to the left, a dining area in front and the lower and upper lounges to the right. The spectacular kitchen has a huge curved granite island with space for four stools on one side. This island has a large number of cabinets and drawers and, on the worktop, a Wifi-enabled hob with ceiling-mounted Neff extractor fan.

On the left are sleek full-height cabinets with a freezer beside a refrigerator, pull-out larder cupboard and unique cupboard with built-in extractor fan. We love the ingenuity of this, meaning you can use air fryers, etc and the steam and smells are taken instantly away. The end cabinet has a pull-out shelf (ideal for a toaster or kettle). The long, deep L-shaped worktop includes an integral 1.5 'Clearwater' sink and drainer with Quooker tap beneath the wide south-facing window and there is an additional sink at the far end. Between are several low-level cabinets (and the corner cabinets have space-maximising pull-out shelves) and integral dishwasher and two chest-height Neff ovens. In the right corner, two more wide south and west-facing windows bring lots more natural light flooding into this splendid room. The kitchen also has recessed ceiling spotlights, an eye-catching wall-mounted radiator and fully-glazed patio door leading out to the garden.

The main garden to the right of the home faces to the south and west, so gets the sun all day from early morning onwards. The long rectangular lawn can be tiered prior to purchase with the agreement of the current owner. A split-level flagstone paved dining patio has space for seating, dining and even a hot tub.
