Property description
Bungalows and big gardens don't always go hand-in-hand. However, there is always an exception to the rule, and guess what? This is it! The current owners have lived here for donkeys years and apart from buying extra land, they have also extended the property, into what we see today. The plot is just under half an acre and much thought, toil, blood sweat and tears have gone into transforming barren land into the lovely well stocked gardens that are shown in the photographs. The grounds, combined with the enlarged, versatile accommodation, suggests appeal to those with families as well as those seeking a spacious retirement home. The great advantage of living here is a feeling of space and solitude, yet with the knowledge that there are in fact neighbours close by. The bungalow both faces and backs onto fields and the superb gardens contain a wealth of flowers, mature trees and shrubs, plus a feature ornamental lily pond, complete with 'Monet style' footbridge! An internal inspection is recommended and the comfortable sitting room has double panelled doors leading into the spacious lounge and the separate snug/study beyond. The fourth bedroom (hardly small!) is currently used as a dining room and bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack 'n' Jill style en-suite bathroom. Of course, the master bedroom also has its own en-suite bathroom whilst there is a separate family shower room; so there you have it, there's never an excuse not to wash at Brooklyn! As if all of this weren't enough, there is a large kitchen/breakfast room, complete with Rayburn cooker that also provides the hot water as well as having hot plates and ovens. Outside, not content with just a double garage, the owners have also added a carport and there is ample additional off-road parking within the driveway. There are lawned gardens to the front, side and rear, with useful storage sheds and the abundance of flowers and shrubs provide a blaze of colour, especially during the Spring and Summer months. In summary, this really is quite a splendid location and to cap it all, it provides swift vehicular access into nearby Whitchurch and further afield into the County Town of Shrewsbury.
