GENERAL COMMENTS

The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, conservatory, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms, cloakroom, utility, workshop, store and garage. Outside, there is ample parking and mature gardens surrounding the property.

A particular feature of the sale is the availability of adjoining land, which can be purchased separately or together with the bungalow. Further details of the additional lots are set out below.
