The Property This semi-detached bungalow is of attractive traditional design with brick-faced external walls under a Rosemary style tiled roof and is estimated to date back to the 1950's. The roof is of hipped design with a complementary projecting front wing and a small concrete flat roof over the rear kitchen wing and garden store. The windows and doors are uPVC double glazed units (except garden store) and there is a central heating system with a gas combination boiler.

The accommodation is arranged as two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a central hall and rear breakfast-kitchen off the dining room. If the dining room was accepted as the sitting room, then this bungalow could have three double bedrooms. There is space to extend at the side (STP) and the kerb and pavement have been dropped on the return frontage to Fulmar Drive, in readiness for a driveway opening, the rear garden having space for off street parking or for a garage/outbuilding (again STP). In general, the property requires modernisation but has the potential to be an attractive bungalow with well-arranged rooms.
