Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this spacious and versatile bungalow, occupying a generous plot overlooking fields to the rear, on the ever popular Elmham Road in Beetley. During the current owner's time in residence, this property has evolved into a substantial family home with flexible accommodation which could easily be configured to include an annexe if required. The property has been lovingly cared for in terms of maintenance and presentation, both inside and out. The interior briefly comprises entrance hall, steps down to an impressive sitting room with an attractive fireplace which backs on to the dining room, which in turn leads through to the recently added conservatory. From the conservatory a glazed door opens back into the refurbished kitchen/breakfast room which links to the entrance hall, giving the reception space a natural flow. The hallway extends through the bungalow giving access to all four main bedrooms, the stylish family bathroom and the study/bedroom five. There is also a door opening to the side entrance hall which in turn leads through to the utility and sizeable boiler room. Outside, there is generous off road parking at the front which leads to the front of the integral garage; with the majority of ground to be found at the rear of the bungalow. The gardens have been exceptionally maintained and include an array of colourfully planted beds and borders, paved seating areas, exterior lighting and a range of mature trees which add to the overall feeling of privacy.
