A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial (2688 sq ft) individual chalet bungalow set within delightful gardens extending to over three quarters of an acre (0.88 acres). The property is set back from the road and is approached via a long private driveway with space for many vehicles with the benefit of an EV charging point. Since the owners purchased the bungalow in 2003 they have  built a two storey extension to create an exceptionally spacious home with versatile living accommodation which could easily cater for multi-generational living.

From the porch you are welcomed into a huge reception hall 37’9” (11.5m) in length with double doors at the far end opening to a delightful garden room enjoying views over the garden. Returning to the entrance there is a wet room to your left, and a kitchen/breakfast room to your right with space for a large table. A door leads through to a useful utility/boot room with a Butler sink, and another door gives access to the garden. The light and airy sitting room is well sized with a fireplace and wood burning stove as its centrepiece. There are three other rooms off the hallway with many potential uses including bedrooms, dining room or office for home working.

Moving upstairs, there is a family bath/shower room and three bedrooms with the master bedroom enjoying views over the garden and the convenience of an en-suite shower room.

Stepping outside, the gardens are a particular feature having been landscaped by the current owners. To the rear there is a large pond and paved patio providing the ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining, while the vast majority of the rest of the garden is laid to a lush green lawn interspersed with a wide variety of mature trees, shrubs and flower beds. To the front there is a large expanse of lawn and a long driveway leading to a double garage.
