3 bedroom bungalow for sale

Sixways is an individual detached bungalow in an unrivalled position at Burleigh.

The property was originally built in the 1930's using traditional methods under a pitched roof, and has been extended in the past. The current owner has been in residence here for nearly 30 years, and has comprehensively improved both the property and the garden during that time, including the addition of solar panels and lithium ion battery storage.

A interesting home in an incredible position, and a must for your viewing list.The interior is complemented by superb gardens and grounds of 0.45 acres total.

The garden is beautifully kept and has clearly been a real labour of love, with shaped lawns, edged with established borders planted with a variety of mature shrubs, a pond, a greenhouse, two good sheds and a woodstore. There is a large paved area to the front of the property, and this is a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the view. There is space to park and turn by the house, and the owner has installed an EV charging point here. A pedestrian gate in the westerly boundary opens straight out onto the common - a direct route out for your daily dog walk.The property is situated at the end of a quiet country lane on Minchinhampton Common, a National Trust owned area that comprises hundreds of acres of open land.
