OWNERS COMMENTS
In the owners words “We bought this lovely bungalow for our elderly parents to bring them closer to us, and they settled in instantly. They absolutely adored the bright, airy rooms and found the property incredibly easy to manage. Located in a beautifully quiet cul-de-sac with no passing traffic, they felt safe and welcomed by wonderful, friendly neighbours.
No matter the time of day, natural light pours through the windows, and the garden enjoys sunshine from morning until evening. It became a peaceful haven for them, especially as they loved watching the countless birds that visited the garden right from the comfort of indoors. This home served our parents beautifully and brought them immense happiness. We truly hope the next owners find just as much joy and comfort living here."

This beautifully presented bungalow offers comfortable, well-maintained accommodation that is sure to impress from the moment you arrive. The spacious lounge features French doors opening onto the sunny rear garden, creating the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining family and friends. The stylish kitchen, fitted just a couple of years ago, provides a modern finish, while the property still offers excellent potential for you to add your own personal touch over time.
