Character and craftsmanship run throughout this thoughtfully restored bungalow, where original details sit comfortably alongside modern touches. A number of small internal level changes add interest to the layout. On arrival, a handy porch provides a practical place for coats and muddy boots before heading through to the inviting lounge. Here, plush sofa seating gathers around a crackling wood burner, creating a warm setting for quiet evenings in. A few steps lead down into the kitchen/diner, a wonderfully bright area with a large skylight, wide windows and patio doors framing views of the garden. The kitchen is well stocked for self-catering, while a breakfast bar and dining table create space for morning coffee or shared meals. The first bedroom sits slightly elevated up a few steps and includes a king-size bed, a Smart TV, and device connections for added convenience. Bedroom two has versatile zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as either a super-king or two singles, along with its own Smart TV. The contemporary shower room is finished to a high standard and includes a generous walk-in shower with a stylishly tiled seat.
Outside at the rear, the enclosed garden is built into the hillside, where natural rock forms an attractive backdrop. A bistro-style dining set awaits for al fresco meals, as well as a very handy outdoor thermostatic shower for washing off muddy boots and dogs. There is an EV charging point available to guests that is payable via an app, and at the front, there is driveway parking for two small cars, with further parking along the lane, subject to availability.
