3 bedroom bungalow for sale

OCTOBER LODGE is a well proportioned, detached bungalow located on a quiet country lane just a moment away from the centre of the popular rural village of Helions Bumpstead. The property was built in the orchard area of a neighbouring period property making it both secluded and private and is approached via a small driveway.

Accommodation comprises a long hallway leading to all rooms with airing cupboard and a side entrance door leads to the utility room which is fitted with storage units and has space and plumbing for a washing machine and fridge-freezer. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with Neff electric hob with extractor fan over, Neff oven and integrated fridge-freezer with plumbing for a dishwasher. Adjacent is a large vaulted garden room with fitted blinds which has a twin aspect and opens onto the large south facing terrace. The spacious sitting room has an attractive central raised brick open fireplace and a triple aspect. The master bedroom has an en suite wet room fitted with a power shower and a second double bedroom is adjacent to the family bathroom which is fitted with a bath and separate shower. A third bedroom is currently used as a dining room but, of course, could also be used as a study.

OUTSIDE, the gardens are mainly to the front of the bungalow with a small enclosed garden and parking to the side (with potential to create more parking STPP). A detached garage measures 20' 2" x 10' 4" and an adjacent converted stable/barn measures 16' 4" x 12' 6" which could be used as a garage/workshop. There are 2 greenhouses and a large garden shed lies to the rear of the property. From the lane, wide steps lead up to the gated gardens which are mainly laid to lawn and stocked with fruit trees, a magnolia and mature shrubs. In all, the plot extends to approximately 0.23 of an acre.
