Property Information

Occupying an attractive elevated position, this semi-detached bungalow offers generous accommodation with the added benefit of a versatile loft room. The property has been adapted to suit wheelchair users, with a winding ramp providing step-free access to the front entrance and further ramps leading through the rear garden. A practical entrance porch creates an ideal mudroom before leading into the spacious living room, where tall ceilings, decorative cornicing and a feature fireplace create an inviting main reception space.

To the front of the property are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views across open fields and benefits from a full wall of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom previously arranged as a dining room and features an attractive tiled fireplace, making it equally suitable as a second reception room or home office depending on requirements.

Positioned to the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of white units and provides direct access to the garden. Whilst functional, this room would now benefit from refurbishment and modernisation, offering buyers an excellent opportunity to create a contemporary kitchen to their own taste. A modern wet room has been adapted for accessibility with level access showering and support rails.

From the kitchen, a staircase leads to a substantial loft room. Although restricted head height limits its formal use, it provides excellent additional space alongside extensive eaves storage and offers flexibility for hobbies, occasional accommodation or home working. The boiler is also located within a cupboard accessed from this level.

Outside, the property continues to offer excellent potential. The rear garden is long and largely level, incorporating decking and ramps for easy access. There is an outhouse with power together with a summer house and workshop, both of which now require renovation or replacement. Beyond lies an overgrown allotment area, presenting scope to create an impressive productive garden or landscaped outdoor space.

Overall, this is a property with considerable potential, combining generous room sizes, accessible living and a sought-after rural location. Whilst cosmetic improvement is required throughout, it offers an exciting opportunity for buyers to modernise and add value.
