3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Occupying an elevated position, with breathtaking panoramic views to hilly countryside, this spacious bungalow has a driveway, integral garage, sun room and pretty well-tended gardens. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac on the popular Yokecliffe estate, the home is within walking distance of the town centre, schools, leisure centre and countryside walks. It's a peaceful yet well-connected home in a friendly neighbourhood.

The entrance porch opens into the hallway, with doors off to the lounge-diner, kitchen (and through to the sun room), bathroom and three bedrooms.

The integral garage is below these rooms, with a block-paved driveway in front having space to park 2-3 vehicles.

A big selling point of this home is the close proximity to local shops, services and countryside walks. The town centre, schools, leisure centre and Hannage Brook medical centre are all within a 10 minute walk.

The Northern Light Cinema and annual arts festival are complemented by a range of quality eateries, friendly pubs and independent shops.
