DESCRIPTION This substantial detached bungalow occupies a generous plot with a wide frontage of around 125 feet to this particularly desirable road. The property has been in the hands of the same owner for many years and whilst appearing to have been generally well maintained it is fair to say that it would now benefit from some general updating and improvement. Having been priced to reflect this, it is considered well worthy of the expenditure required and has the potential to provide a very comfortable home. There is also potential to extend the property should additional space be required (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained). The comfortable accommodation comprises a triple aspect sitting room, separate dining room leading to a conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms (the master with an en-suite bathroom), study/4 th bedroom and a family bathroom. The gardens are a delight offering a great deal of privacy and seclusion. To the side of the garden is a detached brick built garage with electronically operated door and double width driveway providing off street parking before it.
