14 Marchmont Road
14 Machmont Road is a particularly attractive detached 1930s bungalow, quietly positioned towards the edge of the village on a peaceful no-through road and enjoying a lovely open aspect to the front. Set centrally within a generous plot, this characterful home is surrounded by sizeable gardens, providing plenty of space for growing families and keen gardeners alike, while also offering more than enough scope to further extend the property if desired. The property retains a number of appealing period features typical of its era, including a traditional entrance vestibule with stained glass, tiled fireplaces and large south-facing bay windows. These original details sit comfortably alongside a number of modern improvements to create a home that successfully combines period character with contemporary practicality. The generous proportions and well-considered layout have been enhanced by a previous rear extension. The principal reception rooms sit either side of a spacious central reception hall, with the lounge featuring a log burning stove and an open fire in the dining room. Both rooms enjoy impressive bay windows and open outlooks, creating warm and welcoming spaces perfect for relaxed family living or entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of cabinetry and provides ample space for everyday dining. Beyond, a useful utility area provides additional practical space and convenient access to the gardens. The rear extension has created valuable additional bedroom accommodation, with three bright and well-proportioned double bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom, positioned to the rear, benefits from a smart en-suite shower room and glazed doors opening directly onto the gardens. The current owners have also successfully operated this bedroom suite as an Airbnb in recent years. Bedrooms two and three are served by the main family bathroom, while a further home office or box room provides a valuable work space or storage. Outside, the gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's highlights. Generous areas extend to both the front and rear, with a combination of privacy, open views and colourful plantings. The gardens are well presented and offer plenty of opportunity for further landscaping or the creation of additional outdoor living spaces. A lengthy private driveway provides excellent off-road parking for several vehicles, while a range of useful outbuildings to the rear offers secure external storage. Overall, 14 Machmont Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful detached bungalow occupying a generous plot, with attractive gardens, flexible accommodation, potential for further enhancement and the added benefit of an established income-generating opportunity
