5 Bedroom Bungalow  Sold STC £980,000

DESCRIPTION
Set in a haven of peace and tranquillity, Palladio is a unique single-storey dwelling which was designed and built for the original owners in 1956 and was later extended using plans drawn by the original architect. The home enjoys much of the original detail which has been retained by the current owners who have embraced the mid-century modern characteristics of this exceptional property. They have also added a number of modern conveniences, not least of all a comprehensive solar installation which has considerably enhanced the EPC rating to Band C.

The accommodation is spacious and versatile with the majority of the principal rooms all designed to enjoy a particularly attractive aspect over the delightful gardens which face nigh on due south. The property incorporates two separate entrances (meaning that there is the possibility to create a separate annexe), and the accommodation includes a generous open-plan living/dining room which leads to the kitchen which is well fitted with a combination of original units and bespoke cabinetry, utility area and a cloakroom. The separate sitting room leads to the principal bedroom with dressing area and en-suite bathroom. At the opposite end of the property the inner hall opens to four further bedrooms, the family bathroom and to the integral garage.

Palladio stands in delightfully secluded gardens of approximately two-thirds of an acre, with a generous driveway and ample parking to the front. Within the garden is an attractive outbuilding built of stone, currently used as a gym and a recently constructed contemporary garden room incorporating a sauna and storeroom, (both suitable as a home office) there is also a unique garden cloakroom all of which make it the perfect environment for alfresco entertaining and garden parties.

Whilst Palladio is a very comfortable property as it stands there is the potential to extend further, either outwards or upwards (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained).

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
