The town offers a wide range of amenities, including independent shops and chain stores, doctor and dentist surgeries, schooling for all ages and a variety of entertainment venues.

The bungalow was built in the early 1960s and has been a much cherished and enjoyed home of our sellers for the last sixteen years. During this time it has been exceedingly well maintained and improved. The kitchen units have been replaced, a wet room created for convenience and a new septic tank was installed two years ago. Furthermore, this eco-friendly home is equipped with solar panels and an air-sourced heat pump, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced utility costs.

Inside there is a spacious reception room with plenty of space for a hosting a family gathering or for entertaining friends and the wood burner adds a touch of warmth on a chilly day. For informal dining there is enough room for a dining table and chairs in the kitchen. There is a choice of the bathroom or wet room. The bungalow provides generous and comfortable living spaces for you and your family and can be tailored to your own needs.

Outside, the drive delivers ample parking and storage for a boat, caravan or motor home and the large four car garage/workshop is great for vehicle enthusiasts. The large garden has enough space for children and pets to roam freely plus a chance to grow your own vegetables and fruit.

This is a great home for those seeking both generous inside and outside space, in a semi rural area and must be seen to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.
