DESCRIPTION

Tucked away on a quiet cul de sac, just off the desirable Ash Lane, is this well-proportioned detached bungalow. This bright and airy property benefits from two double bedrooms, spacious sitting room, kitchen/diner, cloakroom, double garage, off-road parking, sunny south facing gardens and a large loft space, which offers potential for conversion - subject to the necessary consents. The property has been in the same ownership since new and is now offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Upon entering, is a spacious and welcoming entrance hall. The 'L' shaped hall gives access to all the rooms and features two cupboards, both with sensor lighting.  The first is shelved and currently used as a pantry, but could be used for coats and shoes.  The second cupboard benefits from slatted shelving and offers the ideal space for towels and linens.  Off the hall is a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.  The kitchen/dining room is again a good size and has a dual aspect with windows to the front and side.  The 'U' shaped kitchen has a range of wall and base cabinets with oak doors, an extractor hood and tile effect flooring, along with space for both an under-counter fridge and freezer, washing machine and freestanding cooker.  The dining area can comfortably accommodate a table to seat six to eight people along with additional furniture.  The sitting room is a bright and generous, dual aspect room with fireplace, plenty of room for comfortable seating and an attractive curved wall.  The curved wall has two windows and French doors leading out to the private, sunny south facing garden. 

The two bedrooms are both generous dual aspect doubles with plenty of space for bedroom furniture. One benefits from a view to the front and side and the other has a view to the side and south facing rear garden. The family bathroom is once again a good size and comprises: inset bath with shower overhead, WC and wash basin.  It would be possible to reconfigure the bathroom, if desired, to have a separate shower enclosure.

From the hall is a loft hatch with ladder leading up to a large loft space.  This generous space, previously used as a games room, is fully boarded and features two Velux windows and lighting.  This space offers potential to be readily converted to provide further accommodation (subject to the necessary consents)

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property is a paved drive, offering parking for one to two cars and leading to the double garage and front door. The garage, which has a roller door, benefits from light and power, open eaves ideal for storage, along with a pedestrian door to the garden.

The front garden, is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and attractive planting. Steps lead down to the front of the property with a paved veranda, ideal for outdoor furniture. This area is sheltered by the overhang of the roof and makes a lovely shady spot to sit and relax. On either side of the property, paths lead to pedestrian gates, which open to the rear garden.

The sunny south facing rear garden which can be accessed from the sitting room and gates on either side of the property is fully enclosed with fencing and mature hedging.  Across the rear of the property, partly shaded by the overhanging roof, is a large patio area with plenty of space for outside furniture and entertaining.  The beautifully tended garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders of attractive planting, mown pathways, mature trees along with a compost area.
