A superb detached Chalet bungalow with three bedrooms, garage, parking and lovely garden with a view over the fields, set on the edge of a popular village.
The Property
This detached chalet bungalow sits in an enviable position on the edge of the popular village of Warmington. The property is now in need of updating, but offers huge potential and superbly flexible accommodation, with lovely views over the surrounding countryside.
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with the original parquet flooring, a large storage cupboard and doors leading to the principal rooms. The staircase rises to the first floor.
The sitting room is a lovely, light room with a large front-facing window overlooking a spinney. A stone fireplace provides an attractive focal point, while an archway leads through to the dining room. From here, patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, and there is also access through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the house and enjoys a wonderful outlook, with a large east-facing window overlooking the garden and the field beyond. There is an extensive range of wall and base units, providing plenty of storage, with work surfaces incorporating an inset sink. There is space for the usual appliances and ample room for a breakfast table. Glazed doors give access to the garden, making this a particularly pleasant room from which to enjoy the views.
There are two comfortable double bedrooms on the ground floor, one overlooking the front and the other to the rear, together with a useful study which could provide an additional bedroom if required.
The main bathroom has been refitted and is particularly well appointed, with a bath and separate shower, WC and wash basin with vanity unit and useful storage.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to a large attic space, offering excellent storage and potential, subject to any necessary consents. There is also a further bedroom which takes full advantage of the lovely views across the surrounding countryside.
Outside, the property is approached via a driveway providing a generous amount of off-road parking. Well-stocked borders provide screening and interest, while a covered porch sits over the front entrance.
The garage is accessed via an up-and-over door and has both power and light. An opening leads through to a useful workshop, while further storage and an outside WC can be found at the rear.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property. A patio spans the back of the house, leading onto a good-sized lawn surrounded by established flower beds, mature hedging and trees. Beyond the garden, there is a lovely open outlook across the adjoining field, giving the property a real sense of space and tranquillity.
This is a property with plenty to offer. While it would benefit from updating, the combination of its position, flexible accommodation, generous parking, garage and lovely rear garden makes it an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful home.
