DESCRIPTION A substantial 1970’s detached bungalow having reconstituted stone elevations under a tiled roof and affording generously proportioned three/four bedroom accommodation on a good size partly sloping plot with pleasant southerly views over Lower Somerton. The property benefits from gas central heating and is mainly double glazed and now offers scope for general updating and refurbishment. The spacious accommodation includes a reception hall leading to a good size kitchen at the front and an impressive 19ft square sitting room at the rear which also leads to the conservatory. An inner hall serves the three bedrooms, dining room, bathroom and utility/cloakroom. In addition to the general space, private position and views, a primary feature of the property is the large plot, approximately quarter of an acre, which slopes away at the rear. A long sweeping drive leads to the garage, parking and turning area. If seclusion and convenience are a priority, then a viewing of this unique property is highly recommended.
