Semi detached bungalow set in a tucked away location in the popular village of Little Bardfield. It is set on a plot of around 110 feet x 38 feet. It has a refitted oak kitchen with integrated appliances leading through to a conservatory and a new bathroom with whirlpool bath and shower. The central heating system has been replaced with a new oil combination boiler and radiators. The house has full uPVC double glazing, cavity wall insulation and uPVC soffits, fascias and guttering. We have seen an abundance of wildlife in the garden including owls, pheasants, partridges, squirrels and hedgehogs. The property is set in a cul-de-sac of only 10 houses and has spectacular views over rolling countryside from the rear garden. This is an ideal home for people who require a tranquil rural setting, but within easy reach of Stansted Airport and the A120/M11.

Garage 17'x7'6” ( 5.18mx2.29m)
Rendered brick garage with up-and-over door to the front and personal door to the rear garden. Window at the back.

Outside
The house is located on a level plot of 110 feet x38 feet. There is driveway parking for 3 to 4 vehicles. The front garden has mature conifer trees adjacent to the pavement. There is a small area of lawn and 2 large flower borders with a variety of mature shrubs.

The rear garden is currently unfinished. There is a raised patio area at the end of the garden, which has spectacular views over open countryside and receives full sun all afternoon. There is a garden pond. The building materials (granite slabs, York stone, sand, cement etc) are supplied but they haven't been fitted yet. There is a hawthorn hedgerow at the foot of the garden.

We are emigrating, so there is no upper chain. We can also leave the house part or fully furnished if required. Bungalows in this village rarely come up for sale, so make an appointment before somebody else snaps it up! Most houses in Little Bardfield are 4/5 bed detached and these go for well over £500K. This bungalow is only one of a handful of affordable houses in this exclusive and very desirable village.
