2 Bedroom bungalow

Occupying a fantastic plot on the prestigious Picktree Lodge estate, this beautifully appointed, spacious detached bungalow is definitely an opportunity not to be missed! Benefiting from a larger than average site extending to around a quarter of an acre, it has extensive gardens and ample parking with a long drive and a 17ft attached garage. The large south-easterly facing back garden is particularly appealing, with an open outlook to the rear. The size, layout and quality of the interior must be seen to be appreciated too, with the excellent design providing impressive room sizes throughout. The long, wide hall leads to the living and bedroom accommodation on either side of the bungalow. An impressive 17ft living room opens to the superb 25ft refitted kitchen and open plan dining room, including contemporary high gloss units, hardwood worktops, and integrated appliances including a cooking range, fridge and dishwasher. Glazed oak bi-fold doors open to a large garden room extension, with a vaulted ceiling and French windows leading to the back garden. There are two very well proportioned double bedrooms and a spacious refitted bathroom, featuring a free-standing bath and a large walk-in shower enclosure. The specification includes a replacement roof, gas central heating via radiators with a Vaillant combination boiler, uPVC double glazing and uPVC roofline. A stunning property on a superb plot. Viewing will impress!
