Read the full agent description
3 Old Rectory Close is a beautiful three-bedroom detached bungalow that has been extended by the current owners to create more modern, spacious accommodation. From the front door you step into a central hallway that provides access to all the main rooms. From here, there is also entry to the primary family bathroom, which is fitted with a WC, wash basin, and a bath with a shower overhead. Wooden double doors lead from the hallway into an open plan, modern fitted kitchen / dining room offering excellent space for entertaining friends and family. The kitchen features a timeless shaker style cabinet with quartz worktop with integrated induction hob, electric oven and dishwasher with further space for freestanding appliances. The dining area has been enhanced with a small extension, creating a cosy rear snug while still providing ample room for a family dining table and chairs. French doors from the snug open out onto the rear veranda further extending this space. Flowing from the dining area is a smaller inner hallway, leading to a versatile home office or potential fourth bedroom, as well as a rear-facing sitting room. This spacious sitting room comfortably accommodates substantial furniture and features a central wood-burning fireplace. Large bifolding doors open out to overlook the rear garden and surrounding countryside. The property is completed by three further double bedrooms, including a master bedroom that overlooks the rear garden and benefits from French doors opening directly onto the outside space. The master also features an en-suite, fitted with a walk-in shower, WC, and hand wash basin. The garage is accessible from the kitchen via an internal door, from the garden through a side entrance, or directly through the main garage door. Inside, it offers generous space and includes a practical utility area with a wash basin and plumbing for freestanding laundry appliances. To the outside the rear garden wraps around the property features a variety of mature trees and bushes with a large area of level lawn and a further section featuring planting for fruit trees or year round vegetables perfect for any avid gardener all while overlooking the rear countryside.
