Property description
Perrimead enjoys a particularly peaceful and secluded location within this very popular lane towards the outskirts of West Hill, but within walking distance of all the local amenities.
Built in the mid-1960s this detached bungalow has been improved and extended over recent years with plenty of accommodation for either a family or retired occupants alike. There are three bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes, a family bathroom fitted with a stylish white suite, and a shower room which boasts a corner shower cubicle with steam jets. The kitchen is fitted with timber-fronted cupboards and drawers and there is a useful utility with plumbing and space for modern appliances. The very spacious L-shaped living room benefits from a feature stone open fireplace with living flame Calor gas fire. The dining room enjoys wonderful outlooks across the garden from a large bay window and a glazed door leads through to the conservatory which benefits from electric heaters making it a useable room all year round. The property benefits from PVC double-glazing throughout and oil-fired central heating but gas is available if required. The loft space has been converted into storage rooms.
The setting is excellent; standing within level, enclosed and extremely mature grounds with a delightful variety of interesting shrubs, plants and trees some of which are rare and unusual. The gardens are completely enclosed, private and sunny, amounting to approximately 0.417 of an acre.
