A beautifully presented, detached, chalet-style bungalow which is superbly situated on Stoney Lane, close to local amenities. This five-bedroom property has well-proportioned rooms throughout offering approximately 1,864 sq ft of versatile living space which lends itself very nicely to modern living. There is a pleasing separation between the reception spaces and the bedrooms, which all have an abundance of natural light.

First impressions internally are excellent, with the welcoming hallway giving access to all the principal accommodation. The generous sitting room is triple aspect with a large window to the front to the front and an attractive inset wood burner makes a wonderful centrepiece along one wall. The open plan kitchen/dining room to the rear is the heart of the home. The kitchen itself is sleek and modern with base and eye-level units providing plenty of storage. Integrated appliances include oven, grill, five-ring gas hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The room also provides plenty of space for a table and chairs to the rear as well as space for a comfortable seating area, making the whole room wonderfully sociable. Bifold doors open onto the rear patio and garden beyond, allowing an excellent amount of natural light. A useful utility room leads off the kitchen with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, with access to both the garden and converted garage.

The hallway also gives access to three of the five bedrooms. To the rear, the principal bedroom is an outstanding space with plenty of built-in storage, an en-suite shower room, and a window overlooking the garden. One of the two further bedrooms on ground floor level benefits from built in wardrobes and both are served by a smart shower room. Stairs rise to the first floor where there are two further bedrooms, a sixth bedroom/study and a shower room with WC. Both bedrooms benefit from eaves storage.

Outside, the property is attractively and privately set back beyond the front garden and driveway which provides ample parking for several vehicles. To the rear, hedging provides a good degree of privacy, with mature shrubs and flowers within the borders around the lawn and raised beds. An impressive patio stretches across the rear of the house – perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is also a useful good-sized shed and greenhouse and a fire pit for the colder weather.
