Built in 1974/1975 by a local family and occupying an attractive plot with delightful views across the surrounding countryside, this superb three-double-bedroom detached bungalow offers well-maintained and generously proportioned accommodation, together with a wonderful sense of individuality. One of the original owners was a joiner by trade, and his craftsmanship remains very much part of the property today, not least in the beautiful internal oak doors which were created within the adjoining workshop. Alongside its character and history, the bungalow has also benefited from a number of eco-efficient improvements, including 14 solar panels with accompanying battery storage and two air source heat pump units.

The property can be entered via either the formal front entrance or through the entrance hall adjacent to the garage, providing a particularly practical arrangement for everyday life. The formal entrance leads into a good-sized porch, currently home to a piano but offering considerable versatility and lending itself equally well to use as a home office or additional reception space if required.

The inner hallway provides access to the principal accommodation, with sliding doors opening to a useful cloaks and linen cupboard. Fitted ladders and a loft hatch provide access to a large fully boarded attic, offering excellent storage.

The living room is a particularly attractive room, with dual-aspect bow windows drawing in the wonderful rural outlook and allowing the surrounding countryside to become part of the room. An electric fire set within a contemporary surround provides an attractive focal point, creating a welcoming space in which to relax.

The kitchen is well equipped and provides ample room for a dining area, making it a practical space for everyday family life. A range of wall, base and tall units are complemented by work surfaces and tiled splashbacks, whilst a 1.5-bowl sink with drainer sits beneath the rear window. Integrated appliances include a microwave, double oven, hob and extractor. Doors lead through to the side entrance hall, inner hallway and the delightful sun room.

The sun room is another lovely addition to the accommodation, enjoying the beautiful outlook over the gardens and countryside beyond. With tiled flooring and external access, it provides a versatile additional reception space which could be enjoyed throughout the year.

Three well-proportioned double bedrooms provide excellent sleeping accommodation, with two enjoying a front aspect and the third overlooking the rear. Each bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobe units, providing useful storage. The family bathroom is generously appointed with a four-piece suite comprising WC and basin set within vanity units, bath and a separate fully panelled shower cubicle. Two radiators and twin rear-aspect windows complete the room.

The practical accommodation continues with an integrated garage, accessed via an electric door or pedestrian door from the side entrance hall, which in turn provides access to the utility area. The utility offers space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with storage units, sink and a useful cloaks area, whilst a separate cupboard houses the water cylinder.

Accessed via a narrow set of wooden stairs and situated above the garage, is a first floor room. This useful room is currently used by the owners as a home office and craft/hobby room. Please note that the room does not have Building Regulations approval for use as a bedroom. Also accessible from the garage is the property's former joinery workshop. The former joinery workshop is a particularly exciting and unusual feature of the property and provides a substantial space with considerable versatility. Having previously been used as a working joiner's workshop, it could lend itself to a variety of alternative uses, subject to any necessary planning and other consents. An electric garage door provides access from the front of the property, whilst a pedestrian door to the rear leads into an undercover passageway, which also provides access to the outhouse.

The outhouse provides useful additional storage and was previously used as a potting shed and kennel, with an adjoining yard and dog run. This could prove particularly useful for those with pets or simply as an additional enclosed outdoor storage area.

The gardens are a real feature of the property, wrapping around the front, side and rear and providing an attractive and established setting. Lawned areas are complemented by well-stocked flower borders, gravelled and flagged seating areas, established planting, apple trees, a small pond and greenhouse. There are plenty of opportunities to sit and enjoy the garden, whilst the surrounding rural outlook creates a wonderful backdrop and allows the countryside to be appreciated from within the property itself.

Situated within the delightful village of Ellonby, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting whilst remaining well placed for the wider amenities and transport links of the surrounding area. Offering generous single-storey accommodation, excellent outside space, valuable additional buildings and workshop facilities, together with a fascinating connection to its original craftsmanship, this is a bungalow with genuine character and plenty to offer. Whilst already providing a comfortable and well-maintained home, the property also offers scope for its next owners to make it their own, with the workshop and versatile additional spaces providing exciting possibilities for those seeking something a little different.
