A much-improved and substantially extended, detached bungalow offering versatile accommodation. Located on the sought-after Lake Road, the property boasts a superb level rear garden, off-street parking for multiple cars and double garage to rear.
Property Description -
Nestled in the desirable area of Henleaze, this excellent detached bungalow on Lake Road offers a blend of comfort and convenience. Built in the 1930s, the property has been thoughtfully maintained and improved. The current owners have spent £170,000 on bringing the bungalow in line with current regulations including electricity consumer units, gas supply pipes, renewed water supply and sewage pipes servicing the property, new roof, new windows and doors, combi boiler, insulation and rendering. This is in addition to an extension generating an additional shower room, and replaced bathroom and kitchen. They are moving due to job relocation.
Entering via the vestibule, in turn you will enter the hallway providing access to each of the reception rooms, bedrooms and main bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a white modern three-piece suite comprising shower-over-bath, WC and basin.
The current owners commissioned a substantial extension in 2016 to create a vastly enhanced kitchen/lounge-diner to the rear. The kitchen area is fitted with insulated underfloor heating, matching white base and wall-mounted units, island breakfast bar, granite worktops, and integrated appliances including induction hob, oven and dishwasher. Sliding doors on two aspects lead to the rear garden, and utility/shower room is also accessible from here comprising a shower enclosure, WC and basin.
There are three further rooms, versatile in their use and comprising: to the front elevation two bay-windowed rooms benefitting from a sunny aspect and one of which including a corner fireplace. Both rooms are fitted with uPVC windows and retain the original doors, picture rails and cornicing. To the rear elevation is another room, currently used as a bedroom, with sliding doors leading out to the decked area of the garden. Décor throughout the interior of the property is neutral and in good order. Windows and doors throughout are uPVC, with internal thermal blinds fitted to the windows, and the front door is a good quality composite.
The exterior of the property has been re-rendered and the roof has been replaced by the owners. A smart approach features driveway parking for multiple cars, with a gated portion in turn leading to the rear garden and double garage, fitted with a 14ft electric roller door. The driveway is printed concrete; a good quality low-maintenance product that adds to the overall smart exterior.
The garden is a low-maintenance, level space divided between artificial turf and a recently completed decking area accessible from both rear rooms. Its aspect ensures there is plentiful sun on the property throughout the day and into the evening, and is a real highlight of an excellent property.
