This spacious two double bedroom detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position opposite Knighton Park. The home is conveniently positioned for a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, a plethora of smaller shops and services as well as leisure and medical centres all within a short drive away or bus ride away. The 'wrap around' nature of the plot would allow scope for extension to either side of the home or to the rear subject to local planning but with the dimensions of each room quite impressive the need for extension is somewhat nullified. The home has been well-maintained but many buyers will what to modernise the home and make it their own. However, the home is ready to be moved into and could be improved on a room-by-room basis.<br/><br/>Access to the bungalow is via a front door that opens to a porch and through a further door that leads into an 'L'- shaped entrance hall. Off the hallway is a WC and wash hand basin which is separate to the home's main bathroom. Doors off the entrance hall open to both bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and lounge diner.<br/><br/>The lounge diner is a particularly impressive dual aspect space with large windows to both side and rear elevations. The room is designed around a central floor to ceiling stone fireplace with tiled hearth. This allows the room to be configured in various ways, with one side of the fireplace lending itself to a range of lounge furniture whilst the other side easily accommodates a large dining table and chairs. A large dresser, shelving or display furniture can also easily fit into the space.<br/><br/>A set of patio doors from the lounge open to a conservatory. The conservatory was formally a covered veranda which was exposed to the elements, however, the owners decided to enclose the space creating a conservatory/garden room. This is a versatile additional reception room, that is plumbed into the central heating and therefore usable throughout the year. It lends itself to a second sitting room but could be used as an office/study space or hobby/games room. A second set of sliding patio doors provide access to the garden.<br/><br/>The kitchen is again a good size space and includes a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is an integral gas hob with extractor hood over and a built-in eye-level double electric oven. There is also an integral fridge and dishwasher. In addition to the integral appliances there is space and plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen would comfortably accommodate a breakfast table and chairs. A side door leads out to the driveway, double garage and garden.<br/><br/>The principal bedroom is another dual aspect room with windows to both front and side elevations. It is a generous double room which benefits from built-in double wardrobes. The second bedroom has a window to the side elevation and makes a fantastic guest bedroom.<br/><br/>Finally, there is a large bathroom. The bathroom has a five piece suite which did include a bath, separate fully tiled shower enclosure, low flush WC, bidet and wash hand basin. The owners did decide to remove the bath and replace it with a large walk-in shower so there are now two showers, but a bath could easily be re-instated if preferred.<br/><br/>To the front of the bungalow there is a relatively low maintenance garden with a shingle section and a planted bed bisected by a block paved pathway leading up to the front door. To the side a block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking. A set of secure iron gates run across the driveway before you reach the detached double garage which has light and power and a main up and over door. <br/><br/>The back garden wraps around both the rear and side of the bungalow. The garden is relatively low maintenance with a combination of paved patio seating areas and shingle sections surrounded by well stocked planted borders that offer privacy and seclusion. A couple of the mature fir trees do have preservation orders from which the Cul-de-Sac derives its name. <br/><br/>This impressively proportioned bungalow offers fantastic potential to add further value. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the space it already provides and the future possibilities it holds.<br/><br/> This spacious two double bedroom detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position opposite Knighton Park.
