With a large solar panel array, battery storage system, and EV charging point, the property operates at almost net-zero energy, delivering significantly reduced running costs and genuine future-proofing at a time when energy efficiency is a key buyer priority. Set on a generous corner plot with dual driveway access, the home enjoys excellent privacy while remaining superbly connected to amenities, schools, and transport links.

The property is accessed via an entrance porch leading into a welcoming central hallway with useful built-in storage. To the front of the bungalow are two generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes. A third bedroom, also with built-in storage, offers excellent flexibility as a guest bedroom or home office. The modern kitchen is fitted with an induction hob, electric oven, and space for a full-height fridge freezer, along with room for a small breakfast table. A separate utility room provides valuable additional storage and practicality, together with an external side door. To the rear, the home opens into a comfortable living room centred around a recessed log burner, creating a warm focal point for winter evenings.

Exceptional Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
A key differentiator of this home is its comprehensive renewable energy setup, including: •A large solar panel array •Battery storage system to maximise self-consumption •EV charging point, positioned adjacent to the detached garage and accessed via Chestnut Avenue Together, these features allow the home to operate at almost net-zero energy, providing substantially lower running costs and long-term protection against rising energy prices — a rare and highly desirable advantage.

Future Potential & Planning Precedent
The property benefits from a substantial boarded loft space, offering excellent scope for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Importantly, the bungalow has previously held planning permission for both a side extension and a loft conversion, which, although now expired, establishes a strong planning precedent for buyers wishing to enhance or expand the property further (STPP). This flexibility makes the home equally suitable as a comfortable long-term bungalow or a future family home.
