A much loved home, ready for its next chapter
Set within a highly regarded residential estate in the heart of Lanchester, this beautifully presented three bedroom semi detached bungalow offers far more than first meets the eye. Owned by the same family since it was built in the 1960s, this is a home that has been genuinely cared for, enjoyed, and thoughtfully adapted over time.
From the moment you arrive, the sense of space and warmth is clear. A long private driveway comfortably accommodates three to four vehicles and leads to a garage, while the manicured front lawn and large picture window give the property an inviting, light filled feel.
Inside the home
The living room is a standout space, bright and airy thanks to the large front window, and centred around a charming stone built fireplace with integrated television, creating a natural focal point for relaxing evenings.
A separate dining room adds further versatility, featuring French doors that open onto the rear garden and a beautifully crafted wooden staircase leading to the first floor. The rear extension enhances the flow of the home, with a distinctive curved arched ceiling adding character and architectural interest.
The kitchen offers generous proportions with space for a central breakfast table, tiled flooring, and a traditional wall mounted plate rack. While it would benefit from modernisation, it is fully functional with all appliances in working order, allowing a buyer to update at their own pace.
The ground floor hosts a well proportioned bedroom alongside a recently upgraded bathroom suite, finished with a large walk in shower, stylish cladding, spotlights, and a contemporary yet homely feel.
Upstairs surprise
The loft conversion transforms this bungalow into something quite special. Upstairs, you will find two additional double bedroom spaces along with a WC, all finished with charming panelled walls that create a cosy, cabin in the woods atmosphere. It is an ideal retreat for children, guests, or even a creative workspace.
Outside space
To the rear, the garden is a real highlight. Beautifully maintained and full of established shrubs and flowers, it offers a peaceful and private setting. French doors from the dining area open directly onto this space, making it perfect for both everyday enjoyment and entertaining.
Practical benefits
Double glazing throughout
Modern consumer unit with electrics in good working order
Boiler less than five years old
