Orchards End A quietly situated detached bungalow offering four reception rooms, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. This versatile family home sits in a 0.55 acre plot with some open countryside views.

‘Orchards End’ was built in 1989 and is a very spacious and versatile family home. The current owners have been resident here for nearly 18 years and have updated the bathrooms, kitchen and installed new windows. The benefits include; oil-fired central heating to radiators and quality UPVC double glazing. There are three or four reception rooms and currently four formal bedrooms with three bathrooms (two en suite). For a larger family or those having regular visitors, the bungalow could be used as a six bedroom property and still leave the living room and a dining area off the kitchen. Sitting in a generous plot there is a rear garden measuring around 130ft x 105ft that has attractive countryside views to the west. The property has very good parking and a detached double garage.
