There are three double bedrooms, with the main bedroom enjoying views across the rear garden and benefiting from both a dressing room and an en suite shower room.

THE GARDENS The property is approached from Main Road via a cattle grid and five bar gate which gives access to the large drive and this in turn leads to the triple detached garage, behind which there is a converted stable with a wood store, work shop and garden implement store. The bungalow sits in an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens including a paved terrace adjacent to the sitting/dining room, with the majority of the garden being laid to lawn and interspersed and bordered by well-established trees, bushes and plants. On the north side of the garden there is an entertaining area ideal for al fresco dining which is serviced by the detached outbuilding which is currently used as a bar and games room with a sun terrace above. This also has an adjoining room with a separate entrance which is used as a gym at present. There is a separate orchard which enjoys a range of mature fruit trees and a well with a side gate which provides access to the front of the house.
