Property details
The clemmow family bought this superb bungalow 35 years ago because of its wonderful position overlooking open fields, the large corner plot, large garden and potential to extend.One of the first jobs was to build a detached garage, accessed from the adjacent road around the corner, and to convert the original garage to a new double bedroom.Next a bow window was fitted at the front, to maximise the wonderful view, the cavity walls and loft were insulated, double glazing and central heating were installed, the bungalow was rewired, and no major works have been done since."if we had been staying we would probably have done some modernising, but it's all perfectly serviceable and we reasoned new owners would probably prefer to put their own stamp on it," said john clemmow.The front driveway can accommodate several cars and there's space for another car on the driveway to the garage.The front garden is lawned and extends round the corner to the drive leading to the garage.An enclosed porch opens to the front door, which leads into the hallway.Among the rooms off the hall near the front door are a toilet and one of the three double bedrooms, all of which have either wardrobes or hanging spaces.Also off the hall is a utility area with a butler's sink, plumbing for a washing machine and a huge, walk-in pantry with plenty of room for a fridge-freezer leading off.A step down leads to a lobby area with a built-in wardrobe, then the bedroom converted from the garage, which has a washbasin and a built-in wardrobe.The master bedroom has a washbasin and built in wardrobes the length of one of the walls.The main bathroom has an independent electric shower above the bath and the kitchen, overlooks the fields to the front.The lounge is accessed via a door at the very end of the hall, and is l-shaped, returning to the dining area (where there is a door to the kitchen). Almost 23 feet at its longest, it is a very large room, perfect for entertaining. A french door with a window to the side leads out to the patio and garden.A path leads round past the lawn to a rockery area and further patio, then two steps lead down to the garage, which has a large landscaped area to the rear.The entire garden is surrounded by bushes and shrubs and has fencing to one side and the rear."it feels as if you're in the countryside, but stratford is easily accessible and there's a bus stop nearby for those who don't walk or drive," said john.
