5 bedroom bungalow for sale

DESCRIPTIONThis well situated detached chalet bungalow has been in the hands of the same family for many years and it is fair to say that it would now benefit from general updating and improvement but the property is considered to be well worthy of the expenditure required and could provide an exceptionally comfortable family home.The house stands on a generous plot with a 140 ft south facing garden to the rear backing directly onto the banks of the Royal Military Canal. The current accommodation is arranged to provide an entrance hall, generous 'L' shaped sitting room, dining room, fitted kitchen, utility room, study, two ground floor bedrooms and a shower room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a useful attic room. The delightfully secluded south facing garden is level, laid largely to lawn and provides a wonderful environment in which to relax and entertain alfresco. It also benefits from a gate providing direct access to the Royal Military Canal. To the front, the house is set well back from the road and there is ample parking on the driveway.EPC Rating D.
