Property description

A four bedroom detached bungalow with four bath/shower rooms, a first floor bedroom, a double garage and driveway parking, situated on an approximately 0.75 acre plot with countryside views on the edge of Hartwell village.

The property, with over 2,190 sq. ft. of accommodation, includes a nearly 15 ft. by 13 ft. sitting room with an Adam style fireplace with a marble hearth and fitted log burner, and a door to the principal bedroom suite. Also on the ground floor is a kitchen/dining room, a utility room, and built-in storage leading off the entrance hall. An inner hall has stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom, and double doors to the apsidal conservatory which overlooks the rear garden and countryside beyond. There are two further ground floor double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, and both with en suite shower rooms. On the first floor there is a landing/office, a bathroom, and a dual aspect bedroom four/hobby room in excess of 21 ft. long, with access to eaves storage. Outside is a gravelled driveway with a double brick-built garage at the front and the established rear garden has far-reaching views.

Kitchen/Dining Room

A bevelled, glazed door from the entrance hall opens to the kitchen area which has a range of wall and base units with work surfaces incorporating a one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer and tiled splashbacks. Built-in appliances include an eye level double oven, an electric hob, and spaces and plumbing for a dishwasher and room for a fridge. Laminate wood effect flooring continues into the dining area which has ample space for a table and chairs and a door into the inner hall. Also accessed via the entrance hall, the adjacent utility room has fitted storage, a sink, and an external door to the side.

Principal Bedroom Suite

The principal bedroom suite has a bedroom measuring over 17 ft. by nearly 15 ft. with a range of built-in wardrobes, a walk-in dressing room, and sliding doors to a paved patio overlooking the garden. The partially tiled en suite bathroom has a panelled bath with a shower attachment, a pedestal wash basin, and a WC.

Outside

There is a gravelled driveway at the front providing off street parking for eight cars leading to the double garage with two electric up and over doors. A five bar gate to the side leads to the rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with established shrub borders, walnut, apple, pear and cherry trees, a vegetable plot, a paved patio seating area with an ornamental fish pond and views over farmland.
