Outside there is a large timber outbuilding, stable block comprising three loose boxes and a feed/tack room, and a plot size approaching 6 � acres with two paddocks with water connected.
The property, albeit in need of renovation, offers spacious accommodation briefly comprising a kitchen/dining room, generous living room, utility room, three bedrooms, bathroom, cloakroom and integral workshop. A spiral staircase leads to two additional rooms on the first floor.
Externally the property is approached over a private gated drive with cattle grid, with the lane leading past a generous lawn to the west of the bungalow and to the parking area to the rear of the property and providing access to the outbuilding. The gardens are chiefly laid to lawn and gently slope away from the property to the south and to the rear of the outbuilding there is an allotment area with raised bed and former orchard.
The land is divided into two paddocks, with the first slightly larger and boasting gated road access and access to the timber stable block; the second paddock is accessed via the first and like the first boasts water connection.
Given the vast potential the bungalow offers both internally and externally, a viewing is advised to fully appreciate the offering.
