An opportunity to purchase this extremely spacious extended three / four bedroom detached bungalow situated on a plot of just over 1/4 of an acre and with 175' approx easterly facing rear garden.

The current owner has redecorated most rooms in the last five years and a brand new boiler was installed in October 2022 with a 10 year warranty and has just had its second year service.

The property offers a delightful lounge with brand new double glazed sliding patio doors to rear overlooking the easterly facing garden with an 18' x 10' shed / workshop supplied with power and light.

The kitchen / breakfast room at is also extremely spacious again with brand new uPVC French door opening onto the garden and modern replacement kitchen units with integrated appliances to remain.

There is a separate utility room to the kitchen which houses both the boiler, plumbing for washing machine and space for a dishwasher.

In addition to three double size bedrooms there is a separate dining room / bedroom four. This is currently used as a dining room with access from the lounge / diner but the original door leading in from the hallway is still in-situ.

Summary Continued - With the construction of a stud wall in the gap between the two rooms this could easily be put back to a totally separate fourth bedroom if required.

From bedroom one is an extremely spacious en-suite bathroom with both a bath and a shower, bedroom one itself has a large walk in wardrobe and there also ample cupboards both in the hallway and in the dining room.

The entire property was extensively upgraded and modernised in 2005 when the full width pitched roof rear extension was constructed.

The refurbishment at that time also included a complete new roof.

There are self fitted solar panels on the property running a 4kw system with battery meaning that in the summer months it is virtually self contained on electric costs.

There is also an extensively boarded loft supplied with light and fitted with a loft ladder.

The rear garden is one of the major selling points of the bungalow being 175' in length and with two magnificent sweet chestnut trees at the rear which, in season, provide screening from the rear.

To the front of the property there is a large expansive block paved driveway which can accommodate parking for up to 8 vehicles.

The entire property minus two rooms has been extensively re-decorated in the last five years and there are new modern replacement suites in both the en-suite and the family bathroom.

Situated in a non-estate position the location of the bungalow is fantastic with a bus stop virtually right outside.

Twelve Acre Approach and all the facilities that run off this are literally a two minute walk away including the doctors surgery, Kesgrave Community and Conference Centre, children's nursery, bowling green and sports facilities, Scout and Guide facilities in the main hall as well as the Tesco supermarket and range of local shops including an excellent Estate Agent in the adjacent units.

Furthermore Heath Primary (subject to availability) is less than a five minute walk away.
