The Property

Flowerdale is a well presented, detached bungalow located towards the centre of the popular village of Bucknell, situated amidst the scenic Shropshire countryside close to the English/Welsh border within the picturesque Teme Valley.

Built circa 1974, Flowerdale has been upgraded and lovingly maintained by the present owners over the past 9 years and offers 2 double bedrooms, a reception room, a bathroom, a utility room, a porch, an L-shaped hallway and a kitchen diner. Outside the property has good-sized front and rear gardens, off road parking, a detached garage and distant countryside views to the front and side.

Worlds apart from the hustle and bustle of city living, Bucknell itself offers a close knit village community and facilities to include a primary school, 2 pub's, a butchers, garage and a train station. Just outside Bucknell in the nearby hamlet of Bedstone is the highly-regarded, private school of Bedstone College. Rural, but by no means isolated Bucknell is centrally located just 5 miles from the border town of Knighton, 10 miles from the market town of Craven Arms and 4 miles from the much larger village of Leintwardine. Slightly further afield lies historic Ludlow Town, which is 12 miles to the east.

Inside, a porch leads into the L-shaped hallway, which has seperate doors opening into the utility room, which was formally the kitchen, the bathroom, a storage cupboard, the 2 double bedrooms and the open-plan kitchen diner. Double doors from the kitchen diner open into the light and airy living room, which was added in 2013. Further double doors in the living room lead out to the rear garden. The property also benefits from UPVC double glazed windows and external doors and a 'Worcester' combination boiler.

Outside, from the road, a driveway provides off road parking for 3 vehicles and leads to the detached single garage, which is installed with power and lighting. Worthy of particular note and perfect for horticultural enthusiasts to get their green fingers stuck into, the front and rear gardens are both largely laid to lawn and have well-defined fenced and hedged boundaries. The front garden has flowered beds and enjoys distant countryside views, while the rear garden has the addition of 2 useful garden sheds.
