THE PROPERTY

Tenure: FREEHOLD

EPC Rating: D  **  Council Tax Band:  D  

Introduction & Exterior

Available with no upward chain, this remarkable bungalow in set in a quiet, private location will prove very popular to those seeking a development project and those seeking a long-term move. The bungalow is set on a tremendous plot that has a large walled lawn and block paved driveway to the front of the property and a gated, tarmac driveway to the side that leads round to the rear of the property.

At the rear of the property the driveway widens to provide access to a detached double garage. Beside the driveway is a block-paved patio offering a great space for an outdoor furniture set, before the garden continues to a lawn with stepping stones before ending at a slabbed patio with greenhouse beside.

IMPORTANT INFO – Right of Way

The initial long driveway leading from Hockley Road is owned by the neighbouring property at No.403 and the residents of No.399 and No.401 are allowed to use the driveway to access their properties. The easiest way of defining the driveway boundary is that the part owned by No.403 is covered by gravel. Parking for this property (No.401) is strictly via the block paved driveway and gated tarmac driveway as described above which is plenty enough for residents and visitors. We kindly ask that this is adhered to for viewings.

Bungalow Interior

The bungalow comprises of three double bedrooms, two with en suite WCs, a family bathroom with separate shower, a generous lounge, and a large kitchen with dining space. Above this is a large loft that is part-boarded and fully insulated.

We begin at the front entrance where a double-glazed porch offers plenty of space for guests to remove coats and shoes before a second door leads into a brief hallway with doors leading off the first of the three bedrooms (Bedroom Two) and the Lounge.

Bedroom Two is a good-sized double bedroom that has a large window to the front and fitted wardrobes either side. Between the far set of wardrobes is an opening through to an en suite WC with wash basin. The en suite is a sizeable space that could fit a shower cubicle in if configured differently by the next owner.

The Lounge is a vast open space that has a large sliding patio door with window to the front allowing in an abundance of natural light. This space is easily large enough to hold a sofa suite and entertainment unit. A gas fire is fitted to the rear of the room. Beside this is a bi-folding door opening to a wide Kitchen.

The suite for the Kitchen is fitted to the rear and left walls, leaving an open space at the front of the room for dining, if desired. The suite includes a gas oven and grille, and a four-burner gas hob. A stainless-steel sink with drainer is positioned in front of the window looking out to the rear garden. From the Kitchen there are doors leading to the inner hallway, boiler cupboard and an exit door to the patio. The system boiler feeds a water tank located in the loft. The loft hatch is found above the inner hallway.

The inner hallway has doors leading off to the remaining two Bedrooms and the Family Bathroom, whilst having an area of open storage immediately from the Kitchen. The Family Bathroom features the original grey suite with bathtub, pedestal wash basin and toilet, along with a fabulous modern curved shower cubicle with storm head beside a tall chrome heated towel rail.

Bedroom One will impress all viewers. It comprises of two large open spaces with access to an en suite WC with wash basin. The larger of the two spaces is the initial part which we feel would be best suited for the bedroom area, with the second part having the potential to be used as a dressing room and to expand the size of the en suite. Bedroom Three is another generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a window looking out to the rear garden.
