Property description
Located in a small lane off one of Four Marks' premier sought after roads is this well presented detached bungalow offering versatile accommodation and a delightful South westerly rear garden.
Description
Deceptively spacious is a great way to describe this property. Firstly you walk into a good sized hallway giving access to the laundry room, bedroom two, bathroom and living room. There is plenty of built in storage cupboards and a door leading to the rear garden. The living dining room is L-Shaped and enjoys lots of natural light and a feature working fireplace. A superb addition to the bungalow is the double glazed conservatory with fitted sun blinds and enjoys rear garden views. The kitchen is at the front of the property with some fitted appliances. The inner hallway feeds three bedrooms. Bedroom two has an en-suite and is located away from the other bedrooms so would work well for visitors or even an annexe room. The garage has been partially converted but would still accommodate a small car or could be used for storage. To the front is a drive providing off road parking for three cars and area laid to lawn. The rear garden boasts a south westerly aspect offering a high degree of seclusion with various fruit trees and well stocked shrub beds.
