Description
A renovated and extended bungalow in a peaceful and secluded surrounding with lovely gardens, driveway and garaging.
The Property - Mill Bungalow is a very well presented house with an amazing terrace from the sitting room giving an elevated vista of the garden.
The house has been extended to provide a large sitting room that is now the heart of the home and features a Lantern sky light above and is also triple aspect including the French doors to the terrace and round to the side veranda and path to the parking via the wisteria topped pergola.
The rear door is used all the time and has a small enclosed porch area and into the entrance hall. The utility is separate and has the usual appliances under the counter top and a sink and WC to the side. There is a plate glass window to the kitchen, borrowing southern light from the utility room. The kitchen is well planned with a good range of wall and floor units, a sink under the window and space for a breakfast table or possibly an island counter. This leads onwards to the dining room and therefore is effectively open plan to the kitchen if a larger living room is required.
The two bedrooms are both en suite and located on the eastern side of the house.
Outside - The plot is some 0.2 acres. From the road are elaborate electronic gates giving security. Once in, there is a sizeable gravel driveway with plenty of turning space and the newly constructed garage has an electric roller door. Single in width, the garage is divided into two parts with garaging to the front and a workshop to the rear via a stud partition, thereby easily made into a tandem garage. A personal door from the workshop end leads to the path back to the house. The gardens are private and to the rear with a southerly aspect made up of level lawn and a large flower and shrub border. There is a summerhouse and three further sheds providing water harvesting in addition to the system in place off the roof of the house.
The terrace is a a wonderful addition immediately outside the extended sitting room. The decking continues to the rear door side and steps are down to the path to the drive under the pergola. Intriguingly, the vendor has planted a non fruiting pear tree set within the terrace decking to afford shade when required, as opposed to a parasol. Ladder style steps also leads to the roof of the sitting room, should one wish to get above it all or enjoy the stars at night.
