Set along The Street within the highly regarded village of Claxton, The Bungalow is a substantial detached residence approaching 1400 sq.ft., occupying beautifully established grounds of approximately 0.20 acres (stms).
Having been extended and thoughtfully reconfigured over the years, the property offers exceptionally well-balanced accommodation, perfectly suited to those seeking generous single-storey living within a peaceful countryside setting.
The Bungalow is entered via a welcoming hallway, creating an immediate sense of space while also offering two particularly useful built-in storage cupboards. The bedroom accommodation is exceptionally well balanced, comprising two generous double bedrooms alongside a well-proportioned third bedroom. The principal bedroom further benefits from its own ensuite shower room, while the family bathroom is well presented and conveniently positioned to serve the remaining accommodation.
A defining feature of the property is the remarkable scale of the reception space. The sitting room measures approximately 26ft in length and centres around an attractive feature fireplace with inset electric fire, offering the potential for adaptation to a wood-burning stove should a purchaser desire. Sliding doors open directly onto the patio terrace and rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between inside and out.
The kitchen/diner is equally impressive in scale, also extending to approximately 26ft in length, making it an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself is well equipped with extensive work surface space, ample storage and generous dining space, while further sliding doors overlook and open onto the rear garden. A door leads through to the garage, which in turn connects to a highly practical lobby area incorporating additional storage and utility space.
Externally, the grounds are a true highlight of the home. The rear garden is exceptional in both size and presentation, having been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully planted with an abundance of mature shrubs, established borders and manicured lawns. Enjoying a high degree of privacy and a wonderfully sunny aspect, the garden also features a patio entertaining terrace, summer house, greenhouse and productive vegetable growing area, creating a setting that will particularly appeal to keen gardeners and those who enjoy outdoor living.
To the front, the property is approached via a sizeable shingled driveway providing extensive off-road parking and access to the garage. The attractive front garden further enhances the approach and, if desired, offers potential to create additional parking space.
Properties of this nature are rarely available, combining the practicality of spacious single-storey living with a mature private garden, attractive rural surroundings and excellent access to Norwich and the neighbouring villages.
