Tucked away in a quiet, private cul-de-sac on the fringes of New Barn, this modernised three bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to secure a well maintained single-storey home with superb potential. Beyond the entrance porch, a welcoming hallway leads to a spacious sitting / dining room with patio doors opening directly onto a beautifully kept, south facing rear garden, bathing the room in natural light. The modern fitted kitchen is well appointed with quality appliances and practical worktop space. There are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom featuring fitted wardrobes and ample room for furnishings. The second is a good size double, while the third, currently arranged as a study, offers flexibility for use as a single bedroom or study / home office.
A stylish shower room includes a corner basin and Mira shower, complemented by a separate cloakroom / WC. Externally, the generous garden offers a peaceful retreat with lawn and decking areas, bordered by mature flower beds and complete with an outdoor tap, external power supply, and a barbecue store. Dual side access enhances convenience, and the frontage provides ample off road parking for multiple vehicles leading to a detached 19' detached garage. The garage itself is a superb addition, complete with workbench, utility sink, space for appliances, and its own water supply, ideal for hobbies, storage, or the rear part could be converted into a separate utility room still leaving garage storage at the front.
Significant practical improvements have already been made, including a new gas boiler and heating system fitted in 2021, as well as updated soffits and fascia. The home benefits from double glazing throughout and is warmed by gas central heating. The property provides versatile living space and scope to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents.
