DESCRIPTION
This very comfortable and well-rounded, detached bungalow is located in a highly sought-after area within Whitchurch. Having been extremely well-maintained in recent years, the accommodation is of a good size and characterised by bright, naturally lit rooms that offer a good degree of flexibility and could be suitable for further extension, subject to any necessary consents. The bungalow is complemented externally by an attractive and well-kept rear garden and is served by ample off-road parking and a detached garage, making this property an extremely well-balanced home that should appeal to a variety of prospective buyers and suit a number of lifestyles.

ACCOMMODATION
The property is accessed through an entrance porch which in turn leads into a kitchen/breakfast room which is equipped with a good range of cupboards and cabinets across two walls and roll-edge worktops that incorporate a 1.5-bowl stainless steel sink. There are spaces for an electric cooker, two laundry appliances, a dishwasher and an upright fridge-freezer. Also within the kitchen is a mains gas-fired Aga that has two cooking plates and two ovens below. Leading from the kitchen, there is a door into the principal reception room which is a bright, square room with patio doors leading on to a terrace and the garden beyond. Off to one side is a further dual-aspect reception room that has a gas fire set within a stone fireplace surround at one end and enjoys an attractive view over the garden. This room could serve as either a dedicated sitting or dining room, or indeed a fourth bedroom. Also, off the principal reception space are three double bedrooms, of which one is served by a large en-suite shower room capable of accommodating a full 4-piece suite. Finally, the family bathroom is finished with a 3-piece suite that includes a bath with shower over.

The southwest-facing rear garden is a particular highlight, being laid principally to lawn with deep colourful borders including several mature camellias and azaleas, all providing privacy and shelter, plus several well-established apple trees. At the foot of the garden is a vegetable patch which includes a fruit cage, 12'x6' greenhouse and a timber garden shed. Steps lead up to a good-size, raised sun terrace with an electric retractable awning over which provides an appealing area for entertaining and alfresco dining.
