About This Property
DETACHED 3/4 BEDROOM HOME within a peaceful cul-de-sac setting, enjoying uninterrupted views of surrounding countryside.
Set in an envious position this well proportioned detached chalet bungalow is situated in a quiet residential close and only ten minutesÂ’ walk from the coast. Approached via a paved driveway and path this property is constructed of sandstone elevations under a tile hung roof.
A small step up to the property leads into an inviting spacious hallway with access to the principle ground floor rooms. Also situated in the hallway is a most useful downstairs WC and a wealth of storage cupboards. Leading from the hallway is the generous double aspect sitting room, with feature fireplace and delightful views of the surrounding rolling countryside. A double sliding door provides direct access to the garden and seamlessly blends the outside with in. Adjacent is the dining room, again enjoying stunning rear views. From the dining room is a well-appointed kitchen featuring a range of base and wall mounted units with space for a selection of white goods. The kitchen also benefits from a small breakfast bar area and again views over the rear garden and fields beyond. Accessed from the kitchen is a conservatory/store area, a versatile space that could also be used as a utility, boot or dog room. The conservatory area also benefits from external access to the garden making this an ideal space for muddy paws and boots alike. Also situated on the ground floor is a work room/ double bedroom. This room is currently utilised as a work shop/ office but with small alterations could easily function as additional accommodation.
The first floor comprises; three bedrooms, master with en-suite, family bathroom and separate WC. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, with WC and basin and enjoys a double aspect with field views to the north and south. Opening both windows in the master bedroom allows for a refreshing through sea breeze during the warmer summer months. The second bedroom is another double room and enjoys views to the rear of the property and beyond. Bedroom three is a single room but benefits a most useful built in wardrobe, a recent addition by the current vendors. The family bathroom comprises a bath with shower over and basin, there is also a separate WC with sink.
Outside, the property features front and rear gardens, the former laid with artificial grass. The rear garden has a charming alfresco dining/ seating area with stone paving, the rest being laid to lawn with plant and shrub borders and a wooden boundary fence. The garden has gated access at both sides. The paved driveway provides parking for a number or vehicles and situated at the end of the driveway is a double garage with ample further storage or additional parking if required.
