Property description

A spacious individual detached chalet bungalow offering versatile accommodation, having at least four bedrooms, with the potential to create separate annexe accommodation. Beautiful gardens and in a wonderful, semi-rural location.


SUMMARY
Built in the 1980s to an individual design, Drake House is a spacious detached chalet bungalow offering well presented and versatile accommodation. Depending on a purchaser's requirements, the property can offer up to five bedrooms - three of which are en-suite, and still offer a separate sitting room and dining room. A spacious reception hall leads to a good size kitchen/breakfast room with a gas fired aga and a utility room. Subject to some slight alteration, a self contained annexe could be created, utilising the utility room and studio bedroom, which has an en-suite bathroom. Equally, the ground floor bedrooms have an adjoining shower room, so could again offer accommodation for relatives.

SUMMARY CONTINUED
The property stands on a level plot, with gated access, ample off road parking and a double garage. The landscaped grounds are particularly attractive and offer a colourful combination of level lawn, brick paviour pathways and patios, deep well-stocked beds and borders and a separate vehiclular access with hardstanding and a former stable now arranged as stores and a workshop.
