About this property

A well-located detached bungalow offering an exciting opportunity to increase the existing footprint to 2600 sq ft

What the owner says

We have loved living here, it’s incredibly peaceful and we will dearly miss the fantastic country dog walks amongst the surrounding countryside.  It’s been hugely convenient having the train station so close that offers and relatively painless commute into London but we have decided to move on and for convenience will offer the property chain free.

History & Background

Internally the accommodation includes a good size entrance hall, sitting room, generous kitchen/ dining room with adjoining conservatory, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, further bedroom and a luxury family bathroom.

Externally the property comes to life and enjoys wonderfully, secluded South facing grounds of 0.2 acres and is surrounded by sumptuous, undulating countryside.
