DESCRIPTION
25 Monks Lane is a truly exceptional five-bedroom, detached bungalow that has been meticulously renovated throughout to an incredibly high standard. The property strikes a perfect balance between elegant, cosy retreats and breathtaking open-plan spaces. For quieter moments, the separate sitting room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with its feature fireplace, while the principal bedroom benefits from private French doors opening onto a secluded courtyard area, an idyllic spot for enjoying morning coffee in the sunshine.

The home is thoughtfully designed for family life, featuring a modern family bathroom and an additional shower room, complemented by a practical, separate utility room.

The heart of the home is positioned to the rear, where a spectacular open-plan kitchen, living and dining room creates the ultimate social hub. Finished with sleek grey units and crowned by a striking lantern roof, the space is further enhanced by a cosy log burner that adds warmth and character. High-quality bi-fold doors span the rear elevation, offering lovely views across the garden and opening fully to seamlessly connect the interior with the outdoor space.

Further enhancing the property is a self-contained studio annexe with its own separate access kitchen and shower room. This versatile accommodation is ideal for multi-generational living, a teenager’s retreat, or a potential Airbnb or short-term rental opportunity, subject to the necessary consents.

OUTSIDE
The property continues to impress with a fantastic, generous rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and complemented by a large patio area ideal for large-scale entertaining. The grounds feature a variety of impressive outbuildings, including a very large entertainment space with power and lighting, a dedicated workshop positioned at the foot of the garden, and a charming summerhouse.

To the front, the property is equally well appointed, boasting a substantial gated gravel driveway that provides secure parking for multiple vehicles. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home where every detail has been carefully considered, offering a lifestyle of luxury, flexibility and versatility.
