The property

Striking the perfect blend of period charm and contemporary style, this classic 1920s semi-detached bungalow has been sympathetically upgraded to an impeccable, move-in standard throughout, and boasts three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bathrooms, as well as a versatile basement, landscaped gardens and private parking. Occupying an elevated plot framed by box hedges, the south-facing property instantly endears with its traditional bow window and characteristic curved roofline. The solid front door opens into a welcoming tiled entrance vestibule and a spacious hall with original timber floorboards, which continue into the vast lounge on the right. By day the lounge is flooded with light from a south-facing bow window and boasts a handsome fireplace surround (please note the gas fire is no longer in use). Returning to the hall, a contemporary glazed door leads into the heart of the home: the dual-aspect kitchen/dining area, which enjoys French doors onto the rear deck and garden. Designed for modern family life and entertaining, the open-plan space is cleverly zoned into two distinct areas, bridged by a convivial peninsula. The sleek fitted kitchen comprises an array of cream gloss handleless cabinets topped with sparkling grey quartz, which house a full complement of integrated appliances. Also on the ground floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and the pristine three-piece shower room. Upstairs the first floor accommodates a south-facing double bedroom with a fully fitted walk-in wardrobe, as well as a traditional-inspired four-piece family bathroom, which features a roll-top bath and a separate shower compartment. The property benefits from tremendous storage, including a large attic space, an under-stair cupboard and an extensive basement with lighting, power sockets and a water supply. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure optimum comfort and efficiency all year round.
