Property description

A deceptively spacious detached bungalow now on the market for the first time since 1962 when it was built by the renown local builders of the time Lewis Thorpe and occupying one of the best positions on the development enjoying a south west facing rear garden which is well stocked and quite private.

The accommodation was tastefully extended to the rear in 1981 so as to provide a large Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Dining Room both having electric underfloor heating as well as creation of a Study, Cloakroom and Utility Room. At the same time the roof space was boarded and enlarged and is now considered to give the potential to create a further one or two bedrooms and bathroom subject to planning although several neighbouring bungalows have been able to make such an alteration. Sealed unit double glazing has been installed and whilst the heating is electric by Dimplex night storage heaters virtually throughout the bungalow, it is understood that gas is available although currently disconnected.
The owners Sole Agents consider the sale provdes a rare opportunity to purchase a somewhat unique bungalow on this very popular development and an early inspection is recommended.
