Much more than your "usual" bungalow and set in a ever - popular village, this
beautifully remodelled chalet - style property not only has more character than
you'd expect but more accommodation too. Over two floors, there's room for a
family but also plenty of ground floor space to live comfortably on one level.
**The Property**
With great attention to detail, the current owners have completely remodelled
what was once a plain and simple bungalow into a beautiful, character - filled
home over two floors. The creation of second floor with large dormer windows,
conversion of the adjoining garage into a ground floor master or guest suite,
and addition of a versatile garden room with insulated roof have all created a
spacious layout with lots of options whether you're a young family or looking
for somewhere where you can futureproof your next move and live on one level.
A stable - style front door opens into a traditional hall with the timber
staircase and ballustrade rising to the first floor. Alongside the UPVC double
glazed leaded windows, timber latch doors throughout the property give a cosy,
cottage - like feel - perfect for those who like character but want the
convenience of a more modern property. To one side a sitting room has a brick -
built fireplace housing a multi - fuel stove for those cooler months and french
doors opening into the garden room on the side, allowing this side of the
house to be opened up completely if you wish and connect to the kitchen /
breakfast room. The garden room is a generous size with room for informal
dining or relaxation with comfy chairs. The kitchen / breakfast room across
the rear has a lovely outlook over the garden with another stable - door opening
onto the veranda. The kitchen is fitted with a range of attractive modern
units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards, drawers, deep pan
drawers, display unit and plate rack. There is a deep fitted unit with
shelving and complementary doors perfect for smaller appliances and dry goods.
The units incorporate an electric oven, induction hob with glass splashback
and stainless steel cooker hood, dishwasher and fridge freezer. From the hall
is a useful separate utility room with space for your washing machine, extra
cupboards and a useful second sink unit.
To the other side of the hall is a further reception room, used by the current
owners as a second sitting room but this was originally the main bedroom and
could be returned to use as a bedroom if you wish. It currently has a feature
fireplace (there is no flue). If you prefer a formal dining space, there is a
further reception room at the rear with useful linen cupboard to one side. In
turn this leads through to a pretty dual aspect ground floor double bedroom
and adjoining beautifully fitted shower room. This has been cleverly designed
with contemporary suite including concealed cistern WC, vanity wash hand basin
with quartz effect top and associated storage, and shower cubicle with mains
shower. There is also room for a condensing tumble dryer.
**First Floor**
On the first floor, the landing allows scope for use as a study area with
Velux window letting in lots of natural light. The addition of the large
dormer windows at the rear has allowed space for an additional well - fitted
shower room, and two further good size bedrooms. The larger bedroom includes a
range of fitted wardrobes, and there is additional storage under the eaves.
The maximum head height is c. 1. 94m on the first floor and the vendors use one
of these as their principal bedroom with the other as a hobby space, but they
would equally be suited to children, grandchildren or visiting guests.
**Outside**
To the front the driveway provides off road parking and an archway leads you
through to a formal front garden with lawn, attractive flower beds including
roses, iris and ornamental trees such as magnolia and acer.
There are solid timber gates to each side of the property providing side
access down pathways leading to the rear garden. To the left, there is bespoke
built - in storage for recycling bins and fuel. A 6 x 4 greenhouse and a timber
garden shed. The block - paved path continues around to the rear verandah with
polycarbonate roof giving a handy undercover area, and climbing plants such as
roses and clematis adorning the uprights. To one corner trellis shields the
oil tank, and there is an external oil fired boiler at the rear of the
property. A further lawned garden extends across the rear whilst to one corner
is a further block - paved seating area and ornamental raised corner pond. There
is an external power point and outside tap.
