The generously proportioned bungalow is set within mature gardens. The setting, at the heart of the village, is ideal for family life, being close to a wide range of amenities and next door to the village sports pitch, bordering a conservation area.

The current 1950s property is a good size and arranged over a single storey, with the living accommodation and bedrooms separate from each other. There are three reception rooms and a conservatory at the rear, a spacious kitchen with roof lights providing good natural light, and a cloakroom with WC. On the opposite side of the house there is a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, two further spacious double bedrooms and a family bath/shower room. The bungalow has been well maintained and is well presented internally, with some areas requiring modernisation.

This property has 0.4 acres of land.

Outside

The spacious plot of about 0.4 of an acre is enclosed by mature trees and well screened from the road and surrounding houses – many of these are retained in the proposed plans, with provision for additional planting. The current house is approached over a gravel driveway, with parking to the front and side of the house. The driveway leads alongside the property to a detached garage and shed. To the rear, the garden extends to some 37 metres and is attractively landscaped with a large lawn enclosed by mature trees and hedging, and bordered by flowerbeds.
