Property description

DESCRIPTION   

We recommend an early viewing of this stunning detached chalet bungalow!  Built in the late 1950’s this great property has been renovated by the present vendors to a high standard to create a warm and inviting family home. Improvements have included new plumbing, re-wiring and a new roof as well as internal refitting and redecoration. The spacious accommodation is flexible as there are bedrooms on the ground floor which could be additional living accommodation, and two beautiful en suite bedrooms on the first floor. The sitting room has a wood burner and Oak flooring, the sun room to the side is a great family room and with a kitchen which has a dining area, there is a choice of eating areas! The patio outside would also lend itself to ‘al fresco’ dining in the summer. Our vendor advises there is potential for two storey extension to the side of the property (in place of the sunroom), subject to necessary planning consent.
