A glazed front door with fully glazed side panels open into a useful vestibule with built in cloaks cupboard. A further glazed internal door then opens into the main reception hall which ensures a lovely warm welcome and features the carpeted staircase extending to the upper floor. The internal glazed doors off the hallway ensure a good flow of light into the main sitting room which also benefits from dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens beyond. The room provides ample space to one end for a formal dining table if desired whilst an open arch leads into the neighbouring family room which in turn is open to the kitchen. This open plan arrangement works perfectly for modern family life and provides an excellent sociable space. The family room again benefits from an array of windows ensuring good light and provides space for sofas or such like if desired. The kitchen itself is fitted with an excellent range of solid wood wall and base units and in true farmhouse style features an oil fired aga which sits into a tiled recess. Again the kitchen provides room for a further table and chairs if required, ideal for every day dining.

The central heating boiler is also located in this room whilst there is access to the rear hall/boot room. Both ground floor bedrooms are spacious double rooms with outlooks to the front of the bungalow. Usefully on the ground floor there is both a shower room and a bathroom, located next to both bedrooms; the main bathroom is tastefully fitted with a four piece suite incorporating a bath and separate shower whilst the shower room is freshly presented with a modern white three piece suite.

Upper Accommodation
The carpeted staircase leads to a particularly spacious first floor landing which is flooded with natural light thanks to the velux windows to both the front and rear. This is an excellent space, very versatile but lending itself ideally to use as a home office/ hobby room with the benefit of good built in storage. Again all three bedrooms at this level are bright and airy with large picture windows and some with velux’s also which ensure lovely open outlooks. Usefully two of the bedrooms benefit from built in storage but all have ample space to house a range of free standing furniture also. The shower room at this level is centrally positioned and surprisingly well proportioned, fitted with a three piece suite.
