An opportunity to purchase this extremely spacious and extended three / four bedroom detached bungalow being offered with the added benefit of no chain involved.
Originally built in the late 1960's this was one of only six in Alberta Close on larger plots. The bungalow has since benefited from a full width front pitched roof extension which has blended in superbly to the existing bungalow both with the colour of the brickwork and the roof tiles so that anyone would be hard pushed to know the property had been extended other than the fact that it is much bigger inside than a lot of the adjacent bungalows.
The extension has created a lovely easterly facing separate dining area off the lounge and also a separate room off the kitchen / breakfast room which could easily be used as a separate dining room or a superb office / study or indeed a fourth bedroom if required.
This room is at the end of the kitchen / breakfast room and offers excellent potential of knocking through to create one big open plan kitchen / diner / breakfast / area.
In addition to this there are three double size bedrooms along with a modern bathroom suite with shower and a separate W.C.
The whole property benefits from a central heating system via a modern Vaillant eco Tech boiler which has been regularly serviced and there is full uPVC replacement double glazed windows and doors throughout.
Summary Continued
Additionally externally in 2013 the facias and gutters were replaced with uPVC style and there is a loft accessed from the main hallway which is about 70% boarded.
Within the hallway there is a very handy built in cupboard ideal for coats, hoover etc and a shelved airing cupboard.
It is outside that the property has some additional major selling benefits. There is a much longer and wider than average concrete driveway which can comfortably handle car parking for four cars.
In turn, this leads to a brick built garage which is longer than average with up and over door supplied with power and light and there are two sheds in the garden one of which is also supplied with light and power.
The garden itself is an absolute delight. It is westerly facing and commences with a very nice sheltered and enclosed patio area which is an absolute suntrap especially in the afternoons and evenings and ideal for having an afternoon cuppa or an early evening glass of wine and alfresco dining.
The 54' x 40' garden is easily maintained being largely laid to lawn and is totally un-overlooked from the rear or sides.
Alberta Close itself is a quiet cul-de-sac yet is highly conveniently situated being very handy for the local Heath Primary School (subject to availability) and a short walk to shops in either direction including all the main shopping area and additional facilities such as doctors surgery etc at Grange Farm also the post office and other parade of shops in Penzance Road both of which are a short walk away.
The property could benefit from a degree of upgrading and modernisation but is clean, tidy and well presented in its current state and is the type of property that you could easily live in whilst doing some upgrading works as required.
We are confident that we will be obtaining a good degree of very early interest on this bungalow so we recommend not delaying and contacting us for a viewing as soon as possible.
