3 bedroom Bungalow For Sale

A well laid out 3 bedroomed detached bungalow set on a quiet no-through lane, this is the perfect blank canvas to make your own. Set centrally within the plot with gardens front and rear, the property features ample driveway parking with a brick built garage, three good-sized bedrooms, a very spacious kitchen with dining area and large living room.

Property
This bungalow is just waiting for someone to move in and add those personal touches that turn a house into a home. The rear garden with pond is a particular delight and would blossom with a bit of TLC.
The village of East Hanney comprises a mix of bungalows, terraced and semi-detached properties with large gardens and traditional stone walls. Rural in feel but well connected, Ebbs Lane offers the best of both worlds with abundant green spaces but close enough to Wantage for supermarket shopping trips and Oxford for a bit of retail therapy or culture.

Exterior
This well-proportioned home sits centrally within its plot on the right of the lane. At the front you’ll find a neat garden with a small ‘smoke bush’ tree and roses and shrubs running along the boundary wall and fence. To the rear you have access to the back garden, which is enclosed on all sides and features a pond.
The garage is situated just behind the property and has an up-and-over door with space for bikes, garden tools and all those extra bits and bobs. There’s no problem with parking as there’s ample space for at least two or three cars in front of the garage.

Entrance
Inside, the hallway links all the rooms together, with three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom on the left, living room to the right and kitchen with dining area straight ahead. There are two handy cupboards for coats and outdoor footwear storage, following those weekend walks down to the Letcombe Brook.
Living room
The living room is accessed through an opaque fully-glazed door, and along with a large west-facing window ensures this is a lovely light room. An offset brick-built fireplace adds character and hints at cosy evenings in front of the fire with convenient access into the kitchen through a set of French doors to grab those drinks and snacks as and when required. A pretty glass panel above the French doors complements the rustic feel.

Kitchen/dining area
Two internal windows allow plenty of extra light in to brighten the kitchen/dining area, while a side window overlooks one of the walkways to the garden.
A tiled floor is ideal for this hard-working end of the kitchen as the space is flexible enough to work as an extra seating area, snug or breakfast room.
The kitchen itself is set up with a good amount of high and low level cupboard storage and two separate laminate worktops, perfect for lunchbox prep if someone else is busy at the sink. A built-in oven and gas hob with decorative cooker hood sit at right angles to the sink, complete with swan neck tap and drainer. There is currently plumbing beneath for a washing machine but this could be used as space for a dishwasher if preferred.
The floor tiling continues seamlessly through the archway into the light and bright dining area, with built-in aqua coloured kitchen units doubling up as extra storage for overflow kitchen paraphernalia, crockery, or even a retro turntable and vinyl collection.
The half-glazed back door with inset dog door, sliders allowing easy access to the garden and another set of windows ensure this will be the most popular and prized room in the house with adults, children and pets alike.
Although these rooms are currently set up as separate kitchen and dining zones they could easily be reconfigured as a kitchen diner with island or breakfast bar, leaving plenty of room for a dining table for more relaxed family meals.

Principal bedroom
A roomy double bedroom, it benefits from a large west-facing window overlooking the front garden, with radiator beneath. Another smaller south-facing window allows sun to stream in all day. There is ample space for clothes storage in the built-in double wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors.

Bedroom two
Next along the corridor is a single bedroom with a built-in wardrobe with sliding doors and window facing onto the drive. This would make a perfect office with sofa bed if not required as a bedroom on a full time basis.

Family bathroom
The family bathroom features a modern walk-in shower enclosure with thermostatic wall mounted shower, close-coupled loo and basin. There’s a radiator for warming towels and an obscured glass window.

Bedroom three
This rear facing bedroom is a lovely welcoming space, looking out onto the back garden and enjoying the privilege of being tucked away behind the covered patio area. Currently featuring an east-facing window, this could easily be converted into French doors for private access onto the garden,

Outside
Stepping out of the back door into a covered patio area, the garden reveals itself.
Fully enclosed and generously sized, it enjoys an east-west orientation which means the whole area sees plenty of sunshine all day as the sun moves round. The pond is a particularly lovely feature and attractive to wildlife and birds. The grass is partially shaded by a large apple tree and the borders are well stocked with mature shrubs. There’s a really useful storage shed to the rear of the garage and a convenient side gate provides easy access to the road for recycling and wheelie bins. The pedestrian door to the garage is the left hand one and the garage is equipped with light and power.

Situation
The bungalow is situated in a peaceful close within a protected conservation area just north of East Hanney.
